This creamy mushroom pappardelle takes just 10 minutes but tastes stunning!
The wild mushrooms add a little meatiness to the al dente pasta while the white wine and garlic lend a kick to the creamy sauce.
The beauty of this dish is that you can make the sauce in about the time it takes for the pasta to cook. First, you'll warm a little butter and oil in a pan, then you'll toss in lots of lovely fresh mushrooms. Any edible wild variety will do such as King Oyster, Maitake, Oyster or Shiitake!
After a couple of minutes, the mushrooms will soften and you'll throw in a glug of white wine for flavour, allow the alcohol to evaporate and then stir in milk, cream cheese and parmesan, stirring until you have a gorgeous creamy sauce.
To finish, you'll simply toss the freshly cooked pappardelle through the sauce, garnish with fresh parsley and serve. Divine!!
