TAGLIATELLE WITH PORCINI BUTTER SAUCE
Sautéed until tender, these porcini mushrooms will retain their bold personality and produce mega mushroom flavor. In a rich butter-and-garlic sauce mingling with fresh tagliatelle, their essence is further enhanced by chopped parsley and a lashing of sharp, salty Pecorino Romano. A time-saving tip: while it's hard to beat fresh pasta from scratch, especially with a three-ingredient recipe like the one here, you can swap in storebought fresh or dried tagliatelle.

Steps:
- Tagliatelle: Mound flour on a clean work surface or in a large bowl. Make a well in center. Add egg, yolks, oil, and warm water to well. Using a fork and stirring outward from center, gradually incorporate flour into egg mixture until a ragged dough forms.
- Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead until dough is smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. (Or combine ingredients in a mixer bowl and knead with the dough-hook attachment 8 to 10 minutes.) Tightly cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until soft and pliable, at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
- Cut dough into 4 portions. Keeping remaining portions covered with plastic, shape one into a rectangle. With a pasta roller on its largest setting (1 on a KitchenAid stand-mixer attachment), run dough through roller. Fold dough in half and run through largest setting again. Repeat once or twice more. Turn machine to next setting and pass through roller once.
- Continue passing dough through, lowering setting each time, until dough has run through the smallest setting (8 on KitchenAid attachment). Transfer to a tray generously dusted with semolina (or all-purpose) flour; dust top with more. Repeat process with remaining portions of dough.
- Attach a tagliatelle/fettuccine cutter to a pasta machine. Roll each sheet through cutter. Hang in a single layer on a pasta rack or transfer to a tray dusted with semolina and let dry, 30 minutes. (Pasta can be made up to 1 day ahead: Once dry, loosely twirl handfuls of pasta into 6 "nests," generously dust with more semolina, and refrigerate in a single layer in an airtight container.)
- Porcini Butter Sauce: Heat a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Add oil, butter, and garlic. When butter melts and garlic sizzles, add mushrooms; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Add pepper flakes and cook 30 seconds more.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente,2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water; drain. Add 2/3 cup pasta water to skillet with mushrooms. Bring to a simmer. Add tagliatelle, tossing until sauce thickens slightly and evenly coats pasta, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Add parsley and half of cheese, tossing to combine. Add more pasta water as needed, a little at a time, until sauce evenly clings to pasta again. Serve topped with remaining cheese, pepper flakes, and a drizzle of oil.
TAGLIATELLE WITH PORCINI MUSHROOMS
The deliciousness of pasta with porcini can only be understood by those who have had the pleasure of eating it. It's an easy dish to make as long as you can find good quality porcini. So definitely worth going mushroom hunting for (even in your local supermarket!).

Steps:
- Put water on to boil for the pasta. Add salt once it starts to boil.
- Clean the fresh mushrooms by cutting off the end of the stalk. It would be better not to rinse with water, given that the fungus absorbs it. You can use a small brush to remove any soil, or a damp cloth.
- Cut the mushrooms into pieces
- Fry the peeled garlic cloves in the olive oil, then remove them when golden and add the mushrooms.
- Cook them for about 3-4 minutes until they start to brown. If using frozen mushrooms add after the fresh ones have browned a little
- Add wine and nepitella or thyme, increase the heat and cook until the alcohol has evaporated
- Reduce the heat and add salt and pepper.
- Continue to cook for about another 10-15 minutes. Lower the heat once mushrooms are cooked through and add the butter. When the butter has melted remove the pan from the heat.
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water, remove a glass of the pasta cooking water to be used later and then drain and add the pasta to the pan with the mushrooms and butter.
- Toss everything together over a low heat. The pasta absorbs liquid very quickly so if it looks too dry, add a little of the pasta cooking water at a time until you get the right creaminess.
- Serve immediately with grated parmigiano or vegetarian parmesan as required.

FRESH PARSLEY TAGLIATELLE WITH PORCINI
Steps:
- Make pasta:
- In a food processor blend together 2 1/2 cups flour, oil, yolks, and 6 tablespoons water, incorporating as much of additional 2 tablespoons water as necessary, until mixture just begins to form a ball. On a lightly floured surface knead dough, incorporating as much of additional flour as necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Quarter dough and wrap 3 pieces separately in plastic wrap.
- Set smooth rollers of a pasta machine at widest setting. Flatten unwrapped piece of dough into a rectangle and fee through rollers. Fold rectangle in half and feed through rollers 8 more times, folding in half crosswise each time and dusting with flour as necessary to prevent sticking.
- Turn dial to next (narrower) setting and feed through rollers without folding. Continue to feed dough through, without folding, turning dial to make space between rollers narrower each time, until dough has been rolled through narrowest setting and is a smooth sheet, about 2 1/2 feet by 4 inches. Halve pasta sheet crosswise. Lightly brush 1 side of 1 pasta sheet with cold water and evenly arrange 1/2 cup parsley over it. Drape remaining half sheet over parsley-topped pasta sheet, gently pressing down to force out any air. Set rollers to second narrowest setting and feed filled pasta sheet between rollers. Put pasta sheet on a dry kitchen towel. Roll out and fill remaining 3 pieces dough in same manner, putting each on a dry kitchen towel.
- Attach ribbon pasta cutters to pasta machine and attach handle to widest cutter. Line a tray with another dry kitchen towel. Feed first pasta sheet, which will have dried slightly but should still be soft and pliable, through cutter and toss tagliatelle generously with flour. Form tagliatelle loosely into a nest and arrange on towel-lined tray. Make more tagliatelle in same manner with remaining pasta sheets. Makes about 3/4 pound.
- Fill a 6-quart kettle three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for tagliatelle.
- Trim mushrooms and cut stems from caps. Separately cut stems and caps into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Mince garlic. In a large skillet cook stems in 2 tablespoons oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until stems are tender and liquid they give off is evaporated, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer stems to a small bowl. In skillet cook caps in remaining 2 tablespoons oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until caps are tender and liquid they give off is evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add stems, garlic, and butter and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until wine is evaporated. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper.
- Cook _tagliatelle_in boiling water until al dente about 1 1/2 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water and drain tagliatelle in colander. Add tagliatelle and reserved cooking water to mushroom mixture and toss to combine.
- Serve tagliatelle immediately with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Tips:
- To make the perfect tagliatelle dough, use a combination of all-purpose flour and semolina flour. Semolina flour will give the pasta a slightly chewy texture and a beautiful golden color.
- When rolling out the pasta dough, make sure to use a lightly floured surface to prevent the dough from sticking. You should also roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- When cooking the pasta, make sure to use a large pot of boiling salted water. The pasta should be cooked for about 2-3 minutes, or until it is al dente (slightly firm to the bite).
- To make the porcini mushroom sauce, use a combination of dried and fresh porcini mushrooms for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh porcini mushrooms, you can use all dried mushrooms.
- When rehydrating the dried porcini mushrooms, make sure to use hot water. This will help to extract the full flavor of the mushrooms.
- When cooking the porcini mushroom sauce, make sure to cook it over medium heat for at least 20 minutes. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
- To finish the dish, toss the cooked tagliatelle with the porcini mushroom sauce, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
Conclusion:
Fresh parsley tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of the chewy pasta, the flavorful sauce, and the earthy mushrooms is sure to please everyone at the table. This dish is also relatively easy to make, so it's a great option for home cooks of all skill levels.
