This recipe is one of our kidsā favourites, and Iāve always had it for lunch and for dinner. Pasta with pork mince mushrooms and double cream itās an Italian recipe with Hungarian flavours and spices that will give the dish a great taste.
Itās better to say an Italian recipe adapted to our tastes. The cooking time is about one hour and medium-difficult. Letās begin!
Ingredients
I will use in this recipe half a kilogram of pork mince of 18% fat, but you can also use a mixture of pork and beef if you want, and for extra flavour and texture, I will put 100 g of slightly smoked pancetta.
And because this recipe is impossible without some vegetables, we will need a big onion, two bell peppers; I chose one yellow and one red, and half a kilo of mushrooms.
We will give the preparation a fine and creamy texture with the help of 300 ml double cream, which we will add towards the end.
You can also use any pasta, from spaghetti to farfalle; I decided to boil some penne that I will serve with this great dish.
Preparing the Ingredients
Preparing the ingredients does not require too much time because you have to clean and chop the onion first.
Next are the bell peppers, which we cut into strips and then chop not very finely.
The third ingredient we have to prepare is the mushrooms, which we cut in half first and then slice.
How to Make the Pasta With Pork Mince Mushrooms and Double Cream Recipe?
Heat 100 ml of sunflower oil (or olive oil) in aĀ cast iron potĀ and stir the chopped smoked pancetta.
Fry the pancetta for about a minute to release the flavours and become a little crispy, then add the chopped onion over it.
I fried them for another minute on medium heat and stirred with a wooden spoon; then, I added the chopped peppers.
I seasoned with a tablespoon of sea salt to soften the vegetables faster and let them simmer for about 2-3 minutes on medium to low heat, stirring occasionally. Now we can add the minced meat.
Roast all together for about 3 minutes, stirring from time to time, on medium heat until the minced meat acquires a whitish colour. After, season with a teaspoon of freshly ground pepper, two teaspoons of sweet paprika powder, one tablespoon of crushed pepper paste, one teaspoon of marjoram and one teaspoon of oregano.
Pour about 500 ml of water, put the lid and let it simmer for about half an hour.
When the meat is half-ready, put the sliced mushrooms on top, mix and leave under the lid to release the juice and boil a little.
Finishing the Dish
After five minutes, pour the double cream over and a bunch of chopped parsley and let it boil for another five minutes.
During this time, boil the pasta in salted water, cook them according to the instructions on the package, then drain them and put them in the pot over the ragout.
Stir, turn off the heat, and thatās it; this is my pasta with pork mince mushrooms and double cream recipe, ready to serve.
Serving
Serve immediately, hot, grating a little Grana Padano on top and a glass of white wine next to it; itās gorgeous!
