Recipe

Pappardelle ai Funghi Selvatici (Wild Mushroom Pappardelle)

This rustic yet refined pappardelle dish hails from Umbria and makes a superb match for Lungarotti Sangiovese. The earthy mushrooms, red cherry accents and a hint of spice mirror the wine’s fresh, medium-bodied profile, resulting in a harmonious pairing.

Ingredients

  • 400g pappardelle pasta
  • 300g mixed wild mushrooms (such as porcini and cremini), cleaned and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 small red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 100ml dry white wine
  • Fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pappardelle according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and chilli, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the wild mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their moisture.
  4. Pour in the white wine and let it reduce by half, then add the cherry tomatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften slightly.
  5. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Toss the cooked pappardelle in the pan to coat well with the mushroom sauce.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan if desired.

The earthy flavours and subtle spice of this dish create an ideal counterpoint to the fresh, fruity notes of your Lungarotti Sangiovese.
