Pappardelle with Pancetta & Mushrooms
Yep, one of my favorite topics… time ⌚!
Everyone seems to have crazy schedules and not enough time to do everything, let alone cook. With Thanksgiving and the holidays approaching, time is limited, and sadly, many will opt for processed foods, take-out 🥡, or frozen dinners.
My question is “why”? I have so many quick and easy recipes that keep coming almost every month. I’m sure there are at least half a dozen you can choose from and make for your family.
Don’t worry, I’m in the same boat as you, and when I don’t have enough time ⏰, here are a few of many I rely on: Hamburger Helper, Orzo with Chicken & Asiago, Cauliflower Fried Rice, Panko Breaded Fish Fillet, Bacon Wedge Salad, Japanese Chicken Soba Noodles, and others including this featured Pappardelle with Pancetta & Mushrooms!
Pasta is probably my first option when time is in short supply. Most pasta dishes 🍝 take no time at all, like Spaghetti alla Carbonara, Zucchini Pork Penne, Gnudi, Penne alla Vodka, and the list goes on.
Pappardelle with Pancetta & Mushrooms is among our favorites. It takes no more than 10 minutes to prep and 20 minutes at most to cook. While the noodles are boiling, pancetta, shallots, and mushrooms 🍄 are sautéed before adding Italian seasoning, lemon zest, black pepper, and red pepper flakes with a touch of white wine and heavy cream… of course, let’s not forget the cheese! As soon as the pasta is cooked, dinner is ready!
We all try to find shortcuts in our daily routines, and that includes meals. Making 👩🍳👨🍳 this delicious Pappardelle with Pancetta & Mushrooms is fast and so tasty! It will surely become a family favorite and yours as well when you’re running out of time…

Awesome recipe
Thank you, Lacey 😊. It’s simple and yet so tasty. Have a fabulous day.
😋😋😋
I made a few changes. First, I didn’t use pancetta but linguine, bacon instead of pancetta (nobody sells it around here), used strictly olive oil, and a bunch of button mushrooms. My family enjoyed it.
I made this dish for my fiance and we both loved it.
I’m happy you enjoyed the recipe. Have a fantastic day, Al 🌞.
very nice ingredients
yummy!😋
We made it a couple times. We love it!!!
Great recipe but I don’t use pancetta. Instead, I use guanciale.
Ciao 👋. Molto bene, grazie.
I found it was too garlicky. Next time, I’ll use less.
Absolutely. Most recipes can be adapted to “your” liking. Have a wonderful day, Grace 🌞.
Girl, that’s a nice pasta dish! My kids loved it. You take care of yourself.
I’m happy everyone enjoyed it. I will and you too, Macy 😀.
Once again, great recipe Frankie.
You’re so kind, thank you 🙏.
So damn delicious, thank you!
Thanks, Murray! It’s quick, easy + so tasty! This is the perfect recipe when time ⏰ is in short supply. Enjoy your day.
Interesting recipe that sounds delicious, I’ll make it next week with guanciale instead of pancetta which is hard to buy locally.
Thank you😀. Here in British Columbia, it’s actually the opposite. I have a hard time to find guanciale. Enjoy the recipe and the rest of your day, Edwin 🌞.
😍I love mushrooms.This recipe looks so easy and delicious it’s on my to-do-list. Thanks chef Frankie
