Deliciously Creamy Mushroom Ragù

In this tutorial, Gennaro shares his recipe for a mouthwatering mushroom ragù to serve with polenta. The rich and earthy flavors of the mushrooms combined with the creamy texture of the ragù create a perfect balance of taste and comfort.

To start, Gennaro sautés onions and garlic in olive oil until golden and fragrant. Then, he adds a variety of mushrooms, such as porcini and chestnut mushrooms, and cooks them until they release their flavors and turn golden brown. The mushrooms are seasoned with salt, pepper, and thyme to enhance their natural taste.

Next, Gennaro adds a splash of white wine to deglaze the pan and bring out the flavors even more. He lets the wine simmer until it evaporates, leaving behind a concentrated mushroom base. To further add depth to the ragù, Gennaro pours in vegetable broth and lets the mixture simmer gently for about 30 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.

Finally, Gennaro stirs in a generous amount of cream, creating a lusciously creamy texture. He lets the ragù simmer for a few more minutes to ensure all the flavors are fully incorporated. The result is a rich and velvety mushroom ragù that pairs perfectly with the soft and comforting polenta.

Serve the mushroom ragù over a bed of creamy polenta for a satisfying and unforgettable meal. The polenta acts as a perfect canvas, absorbing all the flavors of the ragù and adding a deliciously smooth texture to each bite. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, for an added touch of freshness.
