Description

This comforting Pennsylvania-style pasta dish features tender fresh wild mushrooms simmered in a rich, savory sauce. The flavors meld beautifully as onion, garlic, and red wine reduce with butter, creating a deep, aromatic base. A touch of soy sauce and coriander adds complexity, while cornstarch thickens the mixture into a luscious coating for the noodles. The subtle heat from chili powder balances the sweetness of the mushrooms, making it an ideal weeknight dinner that feels indulgent yet simple to prepare.

Directions

  1. Cook wide egg noodles according to package directions until tender but still firm. Drain and keep warm.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the chopped onion and sauté until transparent and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the water, red wine, soy sauce, salt, sugar, garlic, lemon juice, coriander, chili powder, and pepper.
  5. Cook and stir the mixture for 1 minute to combine flavors.
  6. Add the fresh wild mushrooms to the skillet.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  8. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet.
  9. Simmer for 30 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to become tender and flavorful.
  10. In a small bowl, gradually stir the cold water into the cornstarch until completely smooth and free of lumps.
  11. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the hot mushroom sauce.
  12. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle boil.
  13. Serve the mushroom sauce immediately over the cooked noodles.
  14. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs and edible flowers if desired.
