Whole Wheat Spelt Tagliatelle Country Style

Whole Wheat Spelt Tagliatelle Country Style Recipe

This morning I was in the mountains, in my favorite retreat, among chestnut and beech woods…

A one-dish meal to avoid spending time in the kitchen, because sometimes you need to unplug, we didn’t even feel like going out for lunch;

Naturally, we had brought some food, if I open the freezer, I always find something ready!

Whole wheat spelt tagliatelle, and a package of stracciatella cheese, some vegetables from the garden, and we had just what we needed!

On the way, I was able to buy the local blueberries, so everything was set!

After exploring the woods near our house in search of a potential mushroom bounty, we returned empty-handed but rejuvenated!

Away from the heat, which in town we’re lucky because it’s always breezy, at 3937 feet the temperatures are restorative!

I should have put together the supplies available…Tagliatelle, tomatoes, zucchinis, and prosciutto…

For a one-dish meal, we were at the top!

Tools

Steps

  • To start, set the pot with water for the pasta on the stove. I add the salt when I put the pasta to cook; so if the water has reduced, it won’t be too salty. In the meantime, slice the zucchinis thinly diagonally

  • Slice the cherry tomatoes or cut them in half, and finally

  • Shred the prosciutto

  • Toast the prosciutto in a little oil, and add the zucchinis; cook for a few minutes to keep them slightly crispy

  • Now add the cherry tomatoes as well

  • And the blueberries; sauté for five minutes

  • The sauce is ready! Cook the tagliatelle…

  • Once al dente, season in the sauce

  • Distribute the stracciatella on the plates and serve a portion of tagliatelle! Finish with grated Parmesan!

  • Finished! A one-dish meal with all the necessary nutrients and quick to prepare!

They keep well in the refrigerator; the next day, sauté in the pan with a little oil, and they are delicious!
