Step

Of 3

Prepare the Fresh Tagliatelle Dough

Begin by combining semola flour and eggs in a mixing bowl. Knead until a smooth, supple dough forms that holds its shape when pressed into a ball.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and continue kneading with the heel of your hand. Work until the dough is elastic, uniform, and soft. Shape it into a ball, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for a minimum of 15 minutes to relax the gluten.

After resting, unwrap the dough and shape it into a rectangle about as wide as your pasta machine. Begin rolling the dough through the machine, dusting both the machine and dough with semola as needed to prevent sticking. Gradually adjust the machine to thinner settings with each pass, aiming for a delicate, yet sturdy sheet.

Once you reach your desired thickness, cut the dough into manageable portions. Fit your pasta machine with a tagliatelle cutter and feed each piece through to slice into even noodles. Twist the tagliatelle into gentle nests and arrange them on a semola-dusted wooden board to rest.

Craft the Porcini-Parmesan Sauce

Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in 1/2 cup of room temperature water for about 15 minutes to rehydrate. Drain, reserving the flavorful soaking liquid for other uses, and set the mushrooms aside.

In a large sauté pan, heat a generous splash of extra virgin olive oil over medium-high. Add a whole garlic clove, gently smashed with its skin still on, to infuse the oil with aroma.

Add the rehydrated mushrooms and sauté on high heat for about 2 minutes. Pour in a splash of dry white wine and let it reduce until almost fully evaporated. In a separate small saucepan, gently heat the milk without boiling, then stir in the grated Parmigiano Reggiano until you achieve a smooth, creamy sauce.

Remove both pans from the heat and set aside until ready to assemble.

Bring It All Together and Serve

Boil the fresh tagliatelle in salted water for 6–8 minutes, or until al dente and silky. Drain the pasta, reserving a little cooking water if needed.

Transfer the noodles to the pan with the sautéed mushrooms. Pour over the warm Parmesan cream and toss to coat, adding a drizzle of olive oil or a spoonful of reserved pasta water for the perfect luscious consistency.

Serve immediately, garnished with extra shaved Parmigiano Reggiano and a touch of black pepper for a truly Italian finishing touch.
