Equipment

  • 1 large saute pan of braising pan

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup diced shallots
  • 3 grated or pressed cloves of garlic
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 1/2 cups wild mushrooms or another mushroom mix
  • 5 Tbsp butter
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme divided
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 3/4 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup broth (chicken or vegetable)
  • 1/2 cup salty pasta water
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp fresh cracked pepper

Instructions

  • Add a large pot of water to the stove and add 1/2 tsp sea salt. When boiling add the Pappardelle and cook according to package directions.
  • Add extra virgin olive oil to a heated saute pan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the onions and shallots. Cook for 4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Add the garlic and the baby bella mushrooms and cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Then add the butter and stir continuously until it melts. Then add the rest of the mushroom mix and half of the thyme sprigs. Cook for 3-5 minutes. The mushrooms will start to take on a caramelization brown color and soften up nicely.
  • Add the flour in and mix well. Cook for about 1 minute and then add the white wine and scrape the brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
  • Let the mix simmer for about 2 minutes and let some of the white wine cook off. Then then add the broth and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the salty pasta water and mix well. Turn off the heat and add the pappardelle.
  • Serve with additional salt and pepper to taste and more fresh thyme leaves.
