  • 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound  pappardelle or fettuccine
  • 2 tablespoons  olive oil
  • 10 ounces  button mushrooms, quartered
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1/2 pound  ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons  tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup  dry white wine
  • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • grated Parmesan, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain and return it to the pot.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion, garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼
teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft, 5 to 7 minutes.

Add the beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until slightly darkened, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until nearly
evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes (and their juices) and simmer until the liquid is slightly thickened, 4 to 5
minutes.

Add the sauce to the pasta and toss to combine. Serve sprinkled with the Parmesan.
