Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz Pappardelle Pasta
  • 1 Cup Heavy Cream or Vegan Cream or Coconut Milk (more for a heavier sauce)
  • 2 Cups Baby Bella Mushrooms
  • 2 Tbsp Butter or Vegan Butter
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic minced
  • ¼ Cup Shallots finely diced
  • ¼ Cup Fresh Parsley roughly chopped
  • ½ Cup Parmigiano Reggiano grated
  • ¼ Cup Pecorino Romano
  • 1 Cup Pasta Water
  • Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Pappardelle pasta to al dente per package instructions. Strain and set aside. Do not rinse the pasta.
  • To a dry large frying pan over medium heat, add the sliced mushrooms and saute until firm and lightly golden.
  • Push the mushrooms to the sides, and add butter along with garlic and shallots. Stir and cook until shallots are softened.
  • Add heavy cream along with salt and ground black pepper, and stir to combine with the mushrooms. Allow the cream to heat up and thicken slightly.
  • Add the pasta along with a few spoons of the pasta water to help the pasta loosen up. Stir until the pasta is coated with sauce and heated through.
  • Turn off the heat, and add in the parsley, parmigiano reggiano, and pecorino romano. Gently mix and allow the residual heat in the pan to melt the cheeses and further thicken up the sauce.
  • Serve with a slice of Garlic bread, and enjoy :)

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of cream or pasta water to loosen the sauce.
  • Make-Ahead: The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat and toss with freshly cooked pasta when ready to serve.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of garlic bread and a simple green salad for a complete meal.
