Notes about this recipe

    Seemed dry, even with adding lots of pasta water.

    This was good, but not worth the number of pots and pans used. I cooked the pasta in the broccolini water to save a pot and the water.

    white wine is needed! this is not a pantry item?!

    Despite the other reviewers’ comments about not needing the panko breadcrumbs or too time-consuming, I think this is a weeknight friendly pasta dish. Please do NOT skip the panko crumbs, they are essential here.

    I think 250gm of pappardelle for 2 people was a bit much. Next time I will reduce that to 200gm leaving all other quantities the same. I toasted the breadcrumbs before cooking the mushrooms & I cooked the broccolini (that's what we have here in Australia) in the pasta so the number of pots used wasn't excessive.

    Uses lots of pots and pretty time-consuming. Tasty dish but you wouldn't think the finished product should take that long to prepare. The mushrooms and wine, and the touch of sugar with the cream, all combine to make a satisfying flavor. Don't skip the panko with lemon zest, garlic and parsley. It really adds something -- garlicky goodness, citrus brightness and some crunch. (Toasting the panko was key, too. It smelled wonderful.)

    This goes under Do Not Do Again. My first one star out of five rating for a recipe by Ottolenghi. I wonder if he even tried this or it was just filler?

  • Yildiz100 on July 17, 2016

    This was fine, but the extras in this recipe (gremolata and toasted panko) didn't really improve the dish, only created more work. I will stick to my no-recipe mushroom cream sauce pastas.
