A comforting bowl of pappardelle pasta tossed in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce, perfect for sharing with loved ones.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 400g pappardelle pasta
  • 500g mixed mushrooms (cremini and shiitake), sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup pasta cooking water

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pappardelle until al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes. Make sure to reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water before you drain it.
  2. In a wide skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms in a single layer and sear them undisturbed until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then toss and cook for another minute.
  3. Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the center of the pan. Once melted, toss in the minced garlic and thyme leaves. Sauté for approximately 60 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, giving it a stir to combine with the garlic and thyme. Let this simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and fold in the grated parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and create a silky, smooth sauce. Stir in the reserved pasta water gradually until you achieve the desired consistency.
  6. Add the drained pappardelle to the skillet, using tongs to toss until every ribbon is coated in the creamy sauce.
  7. Gently fold in the fresh parsley, tasting and adjusting seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Serve immediately in warm bowls, topped with extra parmesan and parsley for color.

Notes

Pairs well with a crisp salad or crusty bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
