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!

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.
