Mary Berry Mushroom Pappardelle is a pasta dish made with wide flat pappardelle noodles coated in a creamy mushroom sauce. The mushrooms are cooked until golden and full of flavour, then brought together with cream and cheese for a smooth finish. It’s a dish that feels rustic but polished, with each element clearly defined.
