Now we will prepare a simple dish that has amazing taste. You can only taste real pasta in Italy and at home - if you cook it yourself. Surprise your loved ones - they will definitely appreciate it.
For tagliatelle we need only four components: durum wheat flour, eggs, salt and excellent equipment that will knead, roll and cut. Of course, you can get by with your hands, a rolling pin and a knife, but preparing the right pasta by hand requires considerable skill. By the way, classic tagliatelle is thin and flat strips of egg dough from 5 to 8 mm wide. The Academy of Italian Cuisine decided in 1972 that the width of tagliatelle should be exactly 8 millimeters.
Let's get started.

Ingredients
For pasta: durum wheat flour - 300 g, eggs - 3 pcs., yolks - 3 pcs., a pinch of salt.
For the sauce: onion - ½ piece, garlic - 2 cloves, tomatoes sliced ​​in their own juice - 1 tbsp, olive oil - 1 tbsp, dried herbs (basil, oregano) - 1 tsp each, salt, pepper - to taste

Separate the yolks from the whites. Place flour, salt, whole eggs and yolks into the bowl of a food processor. Knead the dough at the lowest speed. After 8-10 minutes, take out the dough, knead it lightly, wrap it in parchment paper and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Many people ask why so much attention should be paid to food. I answer: the first people lived in paradise. Why were they not there? Because they ate the wrong thing. So let's watch what we eat.
While the dough is resting, let's make the sauce.
Take olive oil infused with rosemary and pour it into a heated frying pan. Finely chop the onion and fry it until translucent. Add chopped garlic and tomatoes with juice, simmer for 5 minutes. Season with spices and herbs. The sauce is ready.
Let's return to the test. It's ready; All that remains is to turn it into a paste. A miracle machine will help us with this - it has both rollers for rolling out the dough and a noodle cutter. Divide the dough into four parts. Take a piece and roll out the dough using rollers. We start with the largest thickness - No. 1. Let's move on to thickness No. 2. Next is the thickness that we need - No. 4. We get a thin and long layer. If you cut it into large squares, you will get a preparation for lasagna. And we'll put it through a noodle cutter - the pasta is ready!
By the way, according to legend, Italian tagliatelle pasta was invented as a gift for lovers. An unknown romantic chef invented it in honor of the wedding of Lucrezia Borgia. They say that he was inspired to create the culinary masterpiece by the bride’s blonde curls.
Add olive oil to boiling water and place our delicious pasta in the pan. Tagliatelle should be cooked for 3-5 minutes from the moment it boils, no more. Ready?
Drain the water, add a little olive oil to the tagliatelle, stir. Season the pasta with our sauce and garnish with coarsely chopped parsley.
Real Italian tagliatelle pasta is ready. All that remains is to add a glass of white wine, turn on the Celentano recording and be in a good mood. Enjoy!

Surely such a dish as tagliatelle is known. What kind of food is this? If you don’t know, we’ll tell you now.

Let's figure it out!

The Italian word "pasta" translates to "dough". This is how in Italy they call any dishes prepared on their basis. They are a national sign of the sunny country. Tagliatelle pasta is very similar to Russian noodles. To prepare it you need only three components: flour, water and eggs. A stiff dough is kneaded from them, which is then cut into narrow strips eight to ten millimeters wide, and the length of the product reaches ten centimeters. The basis for kneading is flour made from durum wheat.

This dough composition is suitable for preparing others. They will differ from each other only in appearance. For example, taglierini have a similar length, but are much narrower in width - only three millimeters. But tagliolini, on the contrary, is similar in width to tagliatelle pasta, but much shorter in length. Long strips of dough can also be rolled into bird's nest shapes.

The pasta acquired the beautiful and melodious name “tagliatelle” back in the fifteenth century thanks to Bolognese cooks. To celebrate the wedding of Princess Lucrezia Borgia, culinary specialists sought to prepare only the best and most unusual dishes. The incredible beauty of the girl and her luxurious long hair the color of ripe wheat gave the chefs the idea to create tagliatelle pasta.

Cooked and cut pieces are not tagliatelle. What it really is becomes clear when the paste is dried in special ovens in a special way. Now all that remains is to cook it in rapidly boiling water with the addition of salt, and it will be almost ready. The product must not be overcooked. The tagliatelle paste should have a slightly thick consistency. Under no circumstances should it be washed under running water.

Peculiarities

When boiled, the taste of the product is completely neutral; it is just or semi-finished tagliatelle. Not everyone knows that this will become a complete dish only after combining pasta with various additives in the form of sauces, fish, and vegetable products. That is why we continue our story.

There are plenty of opportunities for Italian chefs to experiment with tagliatelle. What does this represent? The structure of the paste is porous and rough, so thick, rich sauces such as bolognese will suit it. In addition to the products listed, you can serve tagliatelle with walnuts, mushrooms, seafood, herbs and herbs.

Useful properties

Despite the fact that the paste is very simple in composition, it still contains useful substances. These are the B complex of vitamins, proteins, fiber, and a rich composition of microelements. It contains virtually no sugar, so the paste does not contribute to weight gain.

If you regularly eat tagliatelle with vegetables, herbs and seafood, then such a diet can significantly reduce body weight. People prone to obesity should not eat pasta in combination with high-calorie foods and rich, fatty sauces.

National Italian cuisine has traditional methods for preparing tagliatelle. We will look at several popular dishes. The main advantage of Italian dishes is that they are prepared very simply and quickly. Even those who are not closely familiar with the peculiarities of Italian cuisine can safely try to combine any available products from the refrigerator with boiled pasta.

Tagliatelle nests with minced meat and cheese

To prepare a tasty and healthy dish for four people, you need to take eight nests of tagliatelle from a store-bought package (such as TM “Makfa”). Two or three nests at a time should be immersed in salted boiling water for exactly one minute. Under no circumstances should you allow the paste to be overcooked - it can instantly dissolve in boiling water.

A baking sheet with high sides should be greased with melted butter. You need to place the nests on it, removing them from the pan with a slotted spoon. In each preparation you need to spoon a very dense layer of minced meat (500 grams), mixed with finely chopped champignons (100 grams).

Next stage

Separately, you need to prepare a gravy consisting of a glass of meat broth, 2 tablespoons of sour cream and mayonnaise, and several cloves of garlic. You can add salt and pepper to taste. The resulting mixture should be poured into the nests in the baking tray. Sprinkle grated cheese (about 150 grams) on top and cover with a sheet of foil.

Half an hour is allotted for baking - and the appetizing dish, sprinkled with fresh herbs, can be served.

Tagliatelle with mushrooms in creamy sauce

To prepare the sauce, grind a medium onion in a blender and fry it in oil for several minutes until transparent. Then add 200 grams of chopped champignons and fry together for about five more minutes.

To add aroma and enhance the taste, you can sprinkle with dried herbs: basil, coriander, thyme. After this, you need to carefully add 300 milliliters of heavy cream (25%) into the frying. Bring the mixture to a boil and leave to simmer over low heat until thickened.

The prepared sauce should be mixed with boiled tagliatelle pasta and served immediately. The dish is prepared very quickly, in just fifteen to twenty minutes, and is especially suitable for very hungry people.

That's all, tagliatelle pasta is ready, the recipe, as you can see, is quite simple.
