How to prepare Pasta with mushrooms

To prepare pasta with mushrooms, start with the How to Clean Porcini Mushrooms: remove the earthy part of the stem 1, then remove any other residues with a brush or a slightly damp napkin. Slice the porcini thinly lengthwise 2. Do the same with the cardoncelli and slice them thinly 3.

Finally, clean and slice the champignons as well 4. In a large pan, heat the oil with the crushed garlic clove 5, then add all the mushrooms 6.

Add salt 7 and cook over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the mushrooms are well browned and all the water has evaporated, turn off the heat, remove the garlic 8, and season with chopped parsley 9.

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pappardelle 10. Drain the pasta al dente and transfer it to the pan with the mushrooms 11, then sauté everything for a couple of minutes 12; if necessary, you can add a little cooking water.

Plate and finish with a drizzle of raw olive oil 13 and more parsley to taste 14. Your pasta with mushrooms is ready to be served 15!

Storage

Pasta with mushrooms can be stored in the refrigerator for one day.

The sautéed mushrooms can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, in an airtight container.

Advice

When serving, you can add pepper to taste or sprinkle the pasta with mushrooms with grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese.

Instead of fresh parsley, you can use thyme.

It is very important not to wash the mushrooms under water, otherwise, they will absorb moisture and become spongy.
