This is such a yummy pasta! Silky pappardelle noodles with wild mushrooms, shallots, garlic, white wine, fresh thyme, lots of Parmesan and a sprinkling of parsley! Rich and earthy and no butter or cream! And it only takes 20 minutes to make! It’s a favorite at the cabin…I use morels in the spring if I’m lucky enough to find them!
Ingredients
6 oz of pappardelle pasta (or other pasta with egg)
1 Tbs of olive oil
2 shallots, minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb of assorted wild mushrooms (*shitakes, oyster, creminis, chanterelles)
1 Tbs of fresh thyme leaves
½ tsp of salt
¼ tsp of pepper
⅓ cup of dry white wine
1 cup of chicken broth
⅓ cup of parsley, chopped
¾ cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta al dente, drain, add back to the pot, stir in a little olive oil and keep warm.
In a large skillet, over medium/high heat, add in the oil and saute the shallots and garlic for 1 minute, then add in the mushrooms, thyme and the salt & pepper, stir and cook for about 4 minutes.
Next add in the white wine and the chicken broth over low/medium heat, stir and cook for 5-6 minutes.
Turn the heat off and add in the parsley, parmesan cheese and the pasta, stir to combine.
Plate the pasta and sprinkle on a little more parmesan cheese. Serve with warm, crusty bread. Buon Appetito!
Notes
If you’re using any dry variety of mushrooms, save the soaking liquid and add ¼ cup of it to the sauce and decrease the chicken broth by ¼ cup, it adds a very rich earthy flavor.
