Farro with Wild Mushrooms
We don't get to eat much food identical to what the ancient Romans would have eaten, which is one of the things that makes farro so fun. They must have had mushrooms and fermented cream back then, so it's easy to imagine Cleopatra and Mark Antony enjoying this farro with wild mushrooms recipe.

These pasta chips are crunchy, salty, and delicious. I like them plain but feel free to serve them with a marinara dipping sauce if desired. Store in an airtight container.
