Try this mushroom pappardelle pasta recipe! Seared mushrooms, fresh green peas, and tender pappardelle noodles in a light cream sauce. Perfect for dinner!
This mushroom pappardelle pasta recipe has green peas, pan fried mushrooms, cheese, and homemade pappardelle noodles. Pan fried shimeji mushrooms have a crispy golden texture that contrasts with the wonderful chewy, meatiness of the mushroom and the tender pappardelle. You can use any mushrooms for this recipe but I'm partial to shimeji for their texture.

Tips for Mushroom Pappardelle Pasta Recipe:
To get your mushrooms perfectly seared, start with a hot pan. Heat your pan over high heat and add a generous amount of oil. Don't add too many mushrooms at once since you want them to lay as a single layer. If your mushrooms overlap each other, they'll start steaming and release a lot of liquid instead of searing and getting that perfect golden exterior.
To prevent your cream from curdling, lower your heat and add the cream a little at a time. It also helps to bring your cream to room temperature. When adding your noodles, I take them out when they're just slightly undercooked and I finish cooking them with the sauce. If it starts to get dry, add in ¼ cup of pasta water at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
Add your fresh or frozen peas towards the end so they keep their bright green color. Lastly, add your crispy seared mushrooms right before serving so they keep their texture. Enjoy!

I like to call this the dish that converts even a non-mushroom lover! My hubby has never been a fan of mushrooms, but even he loves this dish (I think it is your delicious homemade pasta that wins him over every time!) Thanks for such a tasty recipe!
Jamie
Thanks Brittany! You can't go wrong with homemade pappardelle and mushrooms right? 🙂
Austin
This pasta dish is so good - I used your fresh pasta recipe and just some button mushrooms as they were what I had on hand. Lovely flavours and simple to prepare!
Jamie
Thanks Austin! The great thing about this recipe is that it's very versatile. So glad you enjoyed it with what you had on hand!
Farrah
This sauce is so tasty and easy to bring together - I added dash of cognac, as it is my Dad's favourite, but it would be just as good without! Definitely recommend making the fresh pasta recipe on this website too - it is foolproof, and works so well with this yummy sauce.
Jamie
Thank you so much Farrah! I'm so glad you enjoyed this recipe with the fresh pasta! 🙂
