Mushroom Spinach Pappardelle
One of my favorite things to do as a blogger is take dishes that I have at a restaurant and try to recreate them at home. It’s like a fun game! Last summer, we went up to Montreal as I had a conference for work and were staying at Le Westin which was a wonderful hotel. As much as I wanted to try and get out to explore the city a little, I had a badly sprained ankle and then my first day there, I came down with the plague. Needless to say, we did not get out very much. Thank goodness for room service!
The first night we arrived it was very late and we had not yet had dinner so I was starving. I ordered the mushroom spinach pappardelle that was tossed in a tasty white wine sauce. It seems so simple, but it was so so so good! It was so good that I ordered it like two more times that weekend.
I adore these thick and ribbony noodles. This dish was so simple to make. The sauce is very light, but also very flavorful. I used mushrooms and spinach, but you could really use whatever veggies you like and you could also add chicken if you wanted to.

I have seen pappardelle noodles only on TV… now I need to really find some. This looks great. :)
You should totally try pappardelle sometime!
I know exactly what you’re talking about–I did an at-home recreation recently of a kale dish I had in Seattle. This pasta is magnificent–wow–I can’t imagine the restaurant version looking better at all.
This sounds amazing. I love anything with mushrooms and spinach to begin with and this seems so simple! I love re-creating dishes at home too – I really need to do it more often : )
Making pasta this weekend. Will try this with porcini’s.
I would definitely order this, too! I adore the spinach/mushroom combo…it’s my go to omelet :) Now if I could only get the hubby to like mushrooms :/
It looks so good! I also love trying to recreate restaurant dishes that we enjoyed and pappardelle is my favorite type of pasta. :)
I’ve eaten pappardelle pasta at restaurants but never cooked it at home. Looking at this now I’m so craving this pasta you made. I’m going to get this pasta today so I can make this for tomorrow lunch!!! Maybe I’ll add a bit of bacon… hehee
I am adding this recipe for my weekly dinners. It looks and sounds fantastic. So nice when you can recreate something you loved from a restaurant.
Thanks for sharing this. I plan on making it for one of the remaining Fridays in Lent since it’s meatless. :-)
Yumm looks great! I love Pappadelle! I do a chorizo, sundried tomato pappadelle with a touch of cream. Its one of my favourites! So easy!
