Penne rigate and mushroom Bourguignon

Rome dominated the region now known as Burgundy in central Europe for centuries. They brought order, roads, empire and citizenship as well as a strong appetite for hearty cuisine. Bourguignon formed part of what the Romans called "Gallia Lugdunensis" (Celtic Gaul). In 486 the Franks, under Clovis I, overthrew Syagrius, the last Roman governor in Gaul and France was born.
