how to make Tagliatelle with mushrooms and pancetta

Ingredients:

5g/¼oz dried porcini mushrooms
2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
70g/2½oz pancetta lardons
¼ red chilli, thinly sliced
1 large garlic clove, thinly sliced
200g/7oz tagliatelle pasta
¼ beef tomato or 1 whole plum tomato, deseeded and finely chopped
150g/5½oz mixed wild mushrooms
1 handful flatleaf parsley, roughly chopped
50g/1¾oz unsalted butter
50g/1¾oz Parmesan, grated

Directions:

Cover the porcini mushrooms in cold water and leave them to soak for 10 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan, add the pancetta, and cook for 5–7 minutes, or until crisp.
Add the chilli and garlic to the pan and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
While the pancetta cooks, boil the tagliatelle in a large saucepan of salted water according to the package instructions, or until al dente.
Drain the soaked porcini mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid. Add the porcini mushrooms to the sauté pan. Pour the soaking liquid into the pan and let it bubble until reduced by half.
Add the chopped tomato and wild mushrooms to the pan, cooking for 2 minutes. Scatter over the parsley.
Drain the cooked tagliatelle and mix it into the sauce. Stir in the butter and cheese until the sauce becomes creamy.
Serve the pasta in four bowls, drizzled with olive oil.

Serve the tagliatelle hot, right after mixing with the sauce. A drizzle of extra olive oil on top adds flavor. You can also sprinkle some additional Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for garnish. Pair it with a simple salad or crusty bread to complete the meal.

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, warm it in a saucepan over medium heat, adding a splash of water or stock to loosen the sauce. Stir until heated through.
