Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 4 tbsp butter
- 6 oz, finely chopped wild mushrooms
- 1/4 cup, finely chopped fresh sage
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Create a well in 2 cups all-purpose flour on a clean surface, add 3 large eggs and 1/2 tsp salt. Using a fork, mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic — wrap in plastic and rest for 30 minutes.
- Step 2: Roll dough through a pasta machine on the widest setting, folding and rolling 3 times, then gradually decrease to setting 2 for thin sheets. Cut into 1/4-inch strips to form tagliatelle.
- Step 3: Melt 4 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat, add 6 oz finely chopped wild mushrooms, and sauté for 8 minutes until golden and tender, stirring occasionally.
- Step 4: Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh sage and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat, add 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, and stir until melted and combined.
- Step 5: Cook 12 oz tagliatelle in boiling salted water for 2 minutes until al dente, then drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with mushroom sauce until coated, adding pasta water as needed to emulsify. Season with 1/4 tsp black pepper and serve immediately.
