Recipe Description
This mushroom pappardelle gets its bold, savory flavor from Wood River Creamery Black Truffle Cheddar Gruyere, and it’s easier to make than you think.
Ingredients
8 ounces uncooked pappardelle pasta (fettuccine or linguine are other great options)
2 Tablespoons salted butter
1 Tablespoon of olive oil
10 oz mushrooms, sliced about 1/8″ thick (oyster, shitake, café, baby bella, white button, etc.)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 Cup dry white wine (or substitute with more broth)
1/2 Cup chicken broth (or veggie broth)
1/2 Cup heavy cream
1/2 Cup Wood River Creamery Black Truffle Cheddar Gruyere cheese, grated
Optional garnishes: extra Black Truffle Cheddar Gruyere cheese, grated parmesan, fresh parsley
Preparation
- Cook pasta in salted water for 1 minute less than the time per packet (start this mid mushroom cook). Just before draining, scoop out 1 cup of cooking water and set it aside, then drain.
- Melt butter and heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and cook until most of the liquid has released and evaporated, stirring often.
- When the mushrooms begin to get golden, add the garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds – 1 minute).
- Add the wine and stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Simmer until the wine is mostly evaporated.
- Add the broth, cream, and ¼ Cup of the reserved pasta water, and allow to simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken a bit.
- Turn off the heat and add the shredded Black Truffle Cheddar Gruyere cheese, stirring to melt into the sauce.
- Transfer the cooked pasta into the sauce, toss for 1 – 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta. If the sauce is too thick, add additional splashes of reserved pasta cooking water until your desired consistency is reached.
- Taste the pasta and add more salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional cheese and parsley, if desired, and enjoy!
