Pappardelle pasta with porcini mushrooms

A classic recipe that uses porcini mushrooms and egg pasta. It is very easy to make and will impress even the fussiest eater. In late summer/early autumn and spring, when the weather is right and the ground still soft from recent rains, the Italians take to the woodlands with baskets on their arms to search for mushrooms. There are quite a few species that they search for, but porcini are the treasure of the hunt. They are also among the most difficult to find.
