Pappardelle with Mixed Wild Mushrooms
- 9 - 11 ounces mushrooms (I would probably buy around 14 ounces of mushrooms, as you have to trim a bit off)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 - 2 small dried red chillies, pounded or very finely chopped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 pound pappardelle
- a small handful of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 handfully of fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
- 2 ounces unsalted butter
- Brush off any dirt from the mushrooms with a pastry brush or a dish towel.
- Slice the mushrooms thinly, but tear girolles, chanterelles and blewits in half.
- Put the olive oil in a very hot frying pan and add the mushrooms.
- Let them fry fast, tossing once or twice, then add the garlic and chilli with a pinch of salt (it is very important to season mushrooms lightly, as a little really brings out the flavor).
- Continue to fry fast for 4-5 minutes, tossing regularly.
- Then turn the heat off and squeeze in the lemon juice.
- Toss and season to taste.
- Meanwhile cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente.
- Add to the mushrooms, with the Parmesan, parsley and butter.
- Toss gently, coating the pasta with the mushrooms and their flavor.
- Serve, scraping out all of the last bits of mushroom from the pan, and sprinkle with a little extra parsley and Parmesan.
