This rustic and flavorful pasta dish utilizes aromatic herbs and the richness of mushrooms to create a satisfying meal that’s perfect for any night of the week.
Ingredients for Pasta:
- 2 cups Schär Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour, plus extra for dusting
- 3 large eggs- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp mixed dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
- A pinch of salt
- Water, as needed
For the Creamy Mushroom Sauce:
- 2 cups mixed mushrooms, sliced (e.g., cremini, shiitake, button)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
-1 small onion, finely chopped - 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
- To make the pasta dough, place the gluten-free flour in a large mixing bowl and create a well in the center. Add the eggs, olive oil, dried herbs, and salt into the well.
- Gently combine the ingredients with a fork, gradually bringing in the flour until the mixture forms a dough. If it’s too dry, add water one teaspoon at a time.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap the dough in cling film and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/16 inch. Cut into broad pappardelle strands. Dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 3-4 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- For the sauce, melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the onions and garlic until translucent.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and evenly incorporated into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toss the cooked pappardelle in the creamy mushroom sauce until well coated.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
