Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 200g all-purpose flour and 1 tsp salt. Create a well in the center and add 2 large eggs. Using a fork, gradually incorporate flour into eggs until a shaggy dough forms. Knead for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic, then wrap in plastic and rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: While pasta rests, finely chop 300g mixed wild mushrooms and 1 medium shallot. Heat 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and shallot, cooking for 12 minutes until deeply golden and moisture evaporates, stirring occasionally.
  3. Step 3: Deglaze with 120ml white wine, scraping up browned bits, and simmer for 5 minutes until liquid reduces by half. Stir in 1 tbsp fresh thyme and remove from heat.
  4. Step 4: Roll rested dough into 1/8-inch-thick sheets, then cut into 1-inch-wide ribbons. Cook 12 oz pasta in salted boiling water for 2 minutes until al dente, reserving 120ml pasta water.
  5. Step 5: Toss cooked pasta with mushroom ragù in a large bowl, adding 2 tbsp pasta water at a time until sauce coats strands evenly. Stir in 50g grated Parmesan until melted and glossy.
