Flavourful Pappardelle del Contadino
This pappardelle del contadino is packed with bursting flavours you'll definitely love. I just love how savoury and creamy this pasta dish is.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces pappardelle
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 links Italian sausage (American name for Pork Sausage with Fennel Seeds) - sliced into 1-inch rounds
2 small ground chicken (minced chicken)
½ cup sweet onion - diced- 8 ounces crimini mushrooms - sliced
2 cloves garlic - roughly diced
2 medium Roma tomatoes - diced
2 cups baby spinach
¼ cup kalamata olives - sliced- ¼ cup pepperoncini peppers - sliced
- 1 ¼ cups marinara sauce
1 ½ cups heavy cream (also called thickened cream) - whipping
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup Parmesan cheese - grated
1 dash salt
1 dash ground black pepper
Instructions
- Salt and pepper the chicken and set aside. Add sausage slices, and a tablespoon of olive oil to a large sauté or braising pan. Cook over medium-high heat until browned, turn and brown the other side, then add the chicken. Continue to cook, turning chicken and sausage occasionally.
- When the chicken has cooked through for about 6 minutes, remove all meat from the pan and add the mushrooms and onions. Cook mushrooms and onions until mushrooms begin to caramelize. Add garlic and cook for one more minute, be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the diced tomatoes, pepperoncini peppers, oregano and marinara sauce. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until the tomatoes soften.
- Add the whipping cream and the meat, stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavours to meld. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the olives and fresh spinach and simmer until spinach has wilted. Add the cooked Pappardelle pasta and toss well.
- Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
