Pappardelle with Lemony Thyme Roasted Mushrooms

Pappardelle with Lemony Thyme Roasted Mushrooms.

When I saw this gorgeous Baked Lemon & Thyme Mushrooms recipe from Simple Provisions I knew in an instant that it would become a favorite.  But instead of serving it as an appetizer with crostini, why not make it a Meatless Monday Meal.

These oven roasted mushrooms would also be amazing as a side dish.  The lemony thyme and nutty Parmesan cheese go so nicely together.  We first discovered this fabulous combination when we paired them in our Lemony Thyme Orzotto.

The oven roasted mushrooms are then added to sautéed shallot and garlic, which is precisely where the sauce begins to build.  Reserved cooking liquid from the pappardelle, cream, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg are added to the mushrooms.  The tender pappardelle noodles are then gently tossed to coat.  Pappardelle with Lemony Thyme Roasted Mushrooms is a simple yet elegant dish, that is full of flavor.
