Nothing is as comforting as a warm plate of flavourful pasta, especially in this turbulent time and age. This is a quick and simple recipe, made with basic pantry staples and some fresh herbs. You can substitute the fresh sage with other fresh herbs like basil, thyme or parsley, what ever you have at home. Let’s cook! This recipe serves 2, but can easily be doubled.
Tagliatelle with mushrooms & sage
This is a very quick recipe, so start with bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare the other ingredients while waiting for the water to boil.
- 1 granulated garlic clove
- 250 g sliced mushrooms (chestnut or the ones you like the best)
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 packed handfull of fresh spinach, rinsed and roughly chopped (or use thawed, frozen if that is what you have)
- 6-8 leafs of fresh sage, roughly chopped
- 2.5 dl (1 cup) of heavy cream
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese (or any other flavourful hard cheese)
- 300 g tagliatelle all' ouvo (recipe uses dried, but fresh is great as well)
Cook the pasta according to package instructions. While the pasta cooks, fry the mushrooms at medium heat in a dry pan. When the mushrooms start to get colour, add the oil and garlic. Stir well for maximum one minute, making sure that the garlic don’t burn. Add spinach, sage and cream. Let simmer for 3-5 minutes. Taste with salt and pepper and take the pan off the heat. Rinse the pasta and add to the sauce, stir and add grated parmesan. Don’t be shy, add a little more cheese 🙂 Enjoy with a piece of bread and a glass of wine. Bon appetit!
