Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Make a well, add 3 large eggs and 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil. Mix with a fork until shaggy, then knead 8-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap and rest 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Roll dough through a pasta maker on widest setting, fold, and roll again. Reduce setting until sheets are thin enough to see fingers through. Cut into 1/4-inch ribbons.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 chopped shallot and cook 3 minutes until softened. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 8 oz sliced wild mushrooms and cook 8 minutes until liquid evaporates and mushrooms brown. Stir in 1 tbsp fresh thyme and cook 1 minute.
  5. Step 5: Pour in 1/4 cup white wine, simmer 2 minutes until reduced. Add 1/2 cup heavy cream and simmer 5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Step 6: Cook tagliatelle in salted boiling water 2-3 minutes until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Toss with mushroom sauce, adding reserved water to coat strands. Top with 1/2 cup Parmesan and serve immediately.

How do I store leftover Serious Handmade Tagliatelle with Wild Mushroom Sauce?

Transfer to an airtight jar and refrigerate for up to 5–7 days. Most sauces freeze well for up to 2 months — portion into small containers or freezer bags so you can thaw only what you need. Stir before serving; cream- or yogurt-based sauces may separate on standing.

Can I substitute ingredients in Serious Handmade Tagliatelle with Wild Mushroom Sauce?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut).

How do I scale Serious Handmade Tagliatelle with Wild Mushroom Sauce for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
