Wild Boar Pappardelle Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Cook Pappardelle

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pappardelle pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Sauté Vegetables

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Brown Wild Boar

   Add the ground wild boar to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Mushrooms and Wine

   Stir in sliced oyster mushrooms and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Add Broth and Season

   Add the beef or vegetable broth and fresh thyme. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

6. 6

   Combine with Pasta

   Add the cooked pappardelle to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.
