Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 0.5 oz dried porcini mushrooms (soaked in 2/3 cup of water)
- 1 shallot
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 g fine salt
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 1 clove garlic
- 3/4 oz butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 oz Parmigiano Reggiano PDO (grated)
- 1 sprig parsley (chopped)

- Pasta Machine
- Mezzaluna

- Pastry Board
- Strainer
Steps
1 hour before starting, soak the dried mushrooms in a bowl with 2/3 cup of water
Pour the sifted flour onto the pastry board, place the eggs in the center, add olive oil and salt. With a fork, start mixing by gathering the flour from the sides. Finish by kneading with your hands to form a dough ball. Cover with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes
Take the soaked mushrooms, squeeze them and coarsely chop them with the mezzaluna. Pour 2 tbsps of olive oil into a pan, add the sliced shallot and chopped mushrooms. Add finely chopped rosemary, garlic clove, and sauté for 5 minutes over low heat. Filter the remaining soaking water and pour it into the pan. Cover and let it reduce for 15 minutes over low heat.
Take the dough ball, divide it into 2 parts and use the pasta machine to roll out the sheets (I go up to the penultimate setting, but if you prefer, make them thicker). Place them on a cloth to dry, then pass them through the tagliatelle cutter, placing them again on the cloth. Bring water to a boil and cook the tagliatelle for 2 minutes. Drain and pour them into the pan with the sauce, adding a ladle of pasta water. Stir over high heat, and since I don’t like cream, I prepare a ball with 3/4 oz of cold butter and 1 tbsp of flour and add it, tossing to create a creamy sauce before turning off the heat. In the plates, if desired, add Parmesan and chopped parsley.
Advice
If you don’t have dried porcini mushrooms, you can also use champignon mushrooms.
