Method

  1. 1

    Finely dice the onion and crush the garlic. Thinly slice the mushrooms.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, soften the onion for 5 minutes, then add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms release their liquid.

  3. 3

    Add the pork mince, break it up and fry until browned all over.

  4. 4

    Stir in the thyme and chopped tomatoes, season well and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cook the pappardelle in salted boiling water according to packet instructions. Drain, reserving a ladle of pasta water. Toss the pasta with the ragu, adding a splash of pasta water to loosen if needed.
