PREPARATION

  1. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes

  6. Next, add the cream and the Custom Culinary® Gold Label Mushroom Base and simmer over medium low heat for 10 minutes while we get the pasta ready
  7. While you are preparing the sauce, place the water into a medium sized stockpot. Add the Custom Culinary® Gold Label Mushroom Base. Making sure to taste the water to see if the water is well seasoned. Bring the water to a medium boil over high heat.
  8. Once the pasta sauce is complete, add the pappardelle to the boiling water and immediately stir the pasta making sure the water gets between each strand of pasta. Cook for 2 minutes total adding the peas into the water at the last minute. Drain the pasta and peas as you are returning the sauce to a higher simmer
