PAPPARDELLE WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS

June 17, 2011 By Manu 32 Comments

Pappardelle with porcini mushrooms

This is a classic dish.  It is very easy to make and will impress even the fussiest eater!  Porcini mushrooms are the key here.  Their flavour and aroma has no comparison.  I consider them to be the “king of all mushrooms”.  In my opinion, no other mushroom gets even close to them in flavour.  They are perfect for risotti and pasta sauces.  Unfortunately I have never found them fresh here in Sydney, but if you do please use them.  I am using frozen porcini, imported from Italy and they are nice too as they retain their strong flavour.  I like to eat this with egg pasta, but it can also been eaten with normal pasta.  Enjoy.

 

Ingredients (for 4 persons):
250 gms porcini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced (fresh or frozen)
1 clove of garlic, chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp parlsey, chopped
1/4 glass white wine
Salt

Porcini Mushrooms

350 gms egg pappardelle
150-200 ml of cooking cream/thick cream
Parmigiano Reggiano, thinly grated to serve
Pepper, ground, to serve

Pappardelle

Chop the garlic clove and put it in a non stick frying pan with the extra virgin olive oil and let it fry on a low fire for 1 minute.

Add the sliced porcini mushrooms and let them cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add the white wine and burn the alcohol off by increasing the flame for a few seconds.

Put the fire off, add the chopped parsley and keep it aside.

Cook the pappardelle following the steps on How to cook pasta “al dente” in the Techniques page of this site, but drain it 1 minute before it is cooked as it will finish cooking together with the sauce.  Put the drained pasta in the frying pan with the porcini mushrooms, add the cream and mix well while cooking it on a slow flame for 1 or 2 minutes.

Serve with thinly grated Parmigiano Reggiano and ground pepper on the top.

    It’s a while since I’ve seen pappardelle – this is good. Even better with the porcini. I’ve been using the dried stuff but love the look of your frozen ones – just beautiful! High time I made this “fast food” 🙂 Brilliant.

    Oh I just love this dish. I haven’t seen fresh porcinis in Israel, only dried! Do you think I could soak dried ones and use them? Alternately I think I would just opt for another mushroom, sadly. Great, simple recipe!

    I totally agree with you… no mushrooms compare to porcini! I love them, and I just ate “tagliatelle with porcini” two nights ago (mine were a little red … but just a little)… awesome! And with some cream?!?!?

    I love porcini mushrooms and of course you know how to use them best. This is such a yummy recipe. We have gone mushroom hunting a couple of times and you can find pretty good porcini mushrooms near the trees on the northern part of the coast. maybe they grow in Australia too? but definitely not in this season. Have a great weekend.

    OMG, I’m officially homesick now. Your dish is perfect, and I love your pictures. If only I could find fresh or frozen porcini here in Vancouver… I can find the dried ones, but they’re obviously not suitable for this dish… How sad 🙂

    Okay, all the Italian foodies here say Porcini is the best. I need to pay more attention in supermarket next time… Hopefully I will find fresh one like you recommended. So excited to add that to pasta. I never had pappardelle (sounds cute). I love carbs and this makes it even better. What a great dish…not to mention it looks easy to cook!

    Totally the king of mushrooms! This is a gorgeous dish Manu – fast and fabulous. Sadly I’ve never seen frozen porcini here but I always make sure to have a pack of dried porcini. A poor second, I know but still good.

    Hi Manu! I’ve always love pastas but the one and only I know how to cook is the very commonly cooked Bolognese sauce Pasta. I’m so glad to find so many different types of mouth-watering pastas here! 😀
    Hmm… porcini mushrooms, the way you described them, MUST TRY! 😀
