Experience the hearty, comforting essence of Italian cuisine with our Earthy Pappardelle with Mushroom Ragu. Wide ribbons of tender pappardelle pasta are generously coated in a rich, savory ragu made from an assortment of wild mushrooms, slow-cooked to perfection with fragrant garlic, onions, and a splash of red wine. This dish captures the deep, umami flavors of the forest, enhanced by a sprinkle of fresh herbs and a hint of Parmesan. Ideal for a cozy night in or a sophisticated dinner party, this rustic dish brings the warmth and depth of Italian countryside cooking to your table.

Ingredients
  • 12 oz • pappardelle pasta
  • 2 tbsp • olive oil
  • 1 • onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves • garlic, minced
  • 1 lb • mixed mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster)
  • 1/2 cup • dry white wine
  • 1 cup • vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup • heavy cream
  • • Salt and pepper to taste
  • • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • • Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)
Instructions
  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pappardelle according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Make the Mushroom Ragu: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 8-10 minutes. Pour in the white wine and simmer until reduced by half. Add the broth and heavy cream, and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Combine and Serve: Toss the cooked pappardelle with the mushroom ragu in the skillet until well coated. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with grated Parmesan cheese.
