Tagliatelle with Chanterelle Mushrooms
Procedure
With the knife blade, very gently remove the soil and leaves from the mushrooms. Quickly rinse them under running water and remove the last impurities with your fingers (wet the mushrooms as little as possible to avoid washing away the flavor).
Slice the mushrooms into not too thin slices, you can use a knife or your hands to fillet the mushrooms starting from their cap.
Before placing them in the pan, squeeze a few chanterelles at a time in the palm of your hands to remove excess water (the liquid released can be added to the pasta cooking water).
Cook them in a large pan with a drizzle of oil and a clove of garlic.
Cook the mushrooms for at least 15 minutes or until the water they release has evaporated. Salt and turn off the heat.
Cook the tagliatelle in plenty of hot salted water.
Meanwhile, wash and chop the fresh parsley.
Drain the pasta al dente and add it to the mushrooms along with the butter (or vegan cream), mix everything well over the fire. Sprinkle with parsley.
Serve the tagliatelle with chanterelle mushrooms hot.
