This is from epicurious. Easy to make but tastes like more effort went into it. This is a "company is coming for dinner" standby because it looks fancy and tastes fancy, but does not take fancy time to complete. I usually sub dried sage and parsley in mine, but I do not measure it. I just dump some in. This will come together fast. Cooking time includes boiling pasta, prep time does not.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, seasonal ingredients will make all the difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for organic or locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Tagliatelle should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Render the pancetta properly: Pancetta should be cooked until it is golden brown and crispy. This will add a delicious smoky flavor to the dish.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh sage and parsley will brighten up the flavors of the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Serve immediately: Tagliatelle with chestnuts, pancetta, and sage is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and lose its flavor if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Tagliatelle with chestnuts, pancetta, and sage is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The combination of sweet chestnuts, salty pancetta, and aromatic sage is simply irresistible. This dish is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for a weeknight meal. So next time you're looking for a new pasta recipe to try, give tagliatelle with chestnuts, pancetta, and sage a try. You won't be disappointed.
