What a great, easy-to-make pasta recipe. Unfortunately, I could not find pappardelle pasta, but I found some Polish egg noodles that made a decent substitute. I loved the sauce- it wasn't heavy at all and you could taste the mushrooms throughout. I just served some crumbled Italian sausage over the dish and this made it a complete, tasty meal.
