1. Soak the porcini mushrooms in 100ml boiling water from the kettle for 15 mins or until rehydrated. Drain reserving 6 tbsp of the stock.
2. Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for 15 mins or according to packet instructions until 'al dente'.
3. Meanwhile heat half the oil in a large frying pan add the chicken livers and garlic and fry over a high heat for 4 mins or until browned. Add the drained mushrooms and reserved mushroom stock and simmer for 1 minute. Add the brandy and carefully igni ricotta then add the nutmeg cinnamon and plenty of seasoning to taste. Mix well.
