Pappardelle with mushroom ragù (pappardelle con misto di funghi)

A good-quality veal stock gives the sauce a slippery, gelatinous feel.

Serves 6



700 gm   assorted mushrooms, such as enoki, Swiss brown, Portobello, oyster
40 gm   butter, coarsely chopped
1 tbsp   olive oil
4   garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp   finely chopped rosemary leaves
80 ml   dry white wine
375 ml   (1½ cups) veal stock
¼ cup   coarsely torn flat-leaf-parsley leaves, plus extra to serve
400 gm   fresh pappardelle
To serve:   extra-virgin olive oil and finely grated parmesan


1 Tear large mushrooms into pieces, combine in a bowl with remaining mushrooms. Heat butter and olive oil in a casserole over high heat until foaming, add mushrooms, garlic and rosemary, stir occasionally until golden (2-4 minutes). Add wine, cook until reduced by two-thirds (1-2 minutes), then add stock and cook until reduced by half (5-10 minutes). Stir through parsley, season and keep warm.
2 Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until al dente (3-5 minutes, see note). Drain and divide among bowls. Spoon over ragù, serve immediately drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil and scattered with extra parsley and parmesan.

Note Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fresh pasta.
