Quick Mushroom Ragu

Meatless ragu made with savory baby bella mushroom and warm cinnamon, all served over pappardelle — a warm and comforting vegetarian main dish!

this recipe

I love any pasta with cinnamon in it, and this easy mushroom ragu is no exception. It's a great cozy vegetarian pasta dish that is bursting with flavor. It takes a little while to make, 45 minutes, but it's so easy and hands-off. It will be ready before you know it!

Customizations

• Alcohol from the wine will cook out as the sauce simmers, but if you don't want to use wine, you can use broth in place of wine.
• I've made this with beef broth before to make the dish a little more savory. The pasta won't be vegetarian anymore, but still delicious.
• Pappardelle is my favorite pasta for ragus. However, any thick pasta will work for this easy vegetarian mushroom ragu.

I based this recipe on a similar mushroom ragu in the Milk Street: Tuesday Nights cookbook. I simplified the recipe and instructions to make it super quick and easy for you!
