Pappardelle with Chestnut Mushrooms, Cherry Tomatoes & Ham

Mummy’s Fast & Easy

Who doesn’t love pasta, right?!

It’s one of the favourite recipes for lots of families, I’m sure!

I love it myself, but from the pasta recipes I’ve tried I’ve got two that are the best ones.
And today I’m sharing one of them – Pappardelle with Chestnut Mushrooms, Cherry Tomatoes and Ham.
It’s so creamy and juicy that I feel like having a portion right now.:-)

My pasta recipe is inspired by the famous Italian chef Gino D’acampo.
I usually use tinned cherry tomatoes, as in the original recipe and I think it tastes better that way.
However, this time, I decided to try some fresh cherry tomatoes.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s still super yummy, but you’d better try it out for yourself!

Here are the ingredients.
