Loved the texture of the freshly made pappardelle! Especially the parts that clump together and refuse to separate 😝

The sauce was mind-blowing, vaguely familiar yet strangely unique in its own way.

So, “Boscaiola" comes from the word for a woodsman. The sauce will remind you of such complex, earthy flavors of the forest you can almost picture a woodsman getting through a forest with a satchel collecting mushrooms as you savor the dish. In modern day context, it is a dish of Tuscan origins made mainly in the fall when mushrooms are in season.

This earthy creamy sauce is made from a porcini mushrooms, bacon, Italian sausage, parmesan, a dash of white wine, a touch of tomato and a rich splash of cream (hence the pink sauce). So good, I’m definitely coming back for this!
