Method

1

Start with the breadcrumbs. Melt 30g of Lurpak® Chilli & Garlic in a medium frying pan. Add the breadcrumbs and cook for 5-6 minutes until toasted and golden. Add the lemon zest, chilli and parsley then set aside.

TIP

Try the crunchy breadcrumbs on grilled fish or meat as well.

2

In a medium pan, heat 40g of Lurpak® Chilli & Garlic. Add the onions and soften for 6-7 minutes or until golden. Add the crushed garlic and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Add the prepared mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes.

3

Add the spinach and double cream with a pinch of salt, pepper, and lemon juice for taste. Keep warm and set aside until ready.

TIP

Use frozen spinach if fresh is not available.

4

Cook the tagliatelle as per the pack instructions, in boiled water with a pinch of salt. Drain (keeping a splash of starchy pasta water aside) and stir through the sauce so it coats the pasta. If needed, pour in the reserved pasta water to loosen. Serve swiftly in warmed bowls topped with the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan.

Everything about Mushroom & Spinach Tagliatelle

  • If you want to pronounce Tagliatelle like an Italian, the 'g' is silent. You place emphasis on the third syllable, making sure to enunciate the double 'l'. So, it's pronounced tal-yah-TELL-eh.

  • Fresh tagliatelle cooks in just 2-5 minutes, while dried tagliatelle takes 8-12 minutes, however this can vary slightly from pack-to-pack. Follow the package instructions for the perfect al dente texture. Remember to save some pasta water to help coat the pasta in its sauce.

  • Tagliatelle and fettuccine are both long, flat ribbons however tagliatelle is ever so slightly narrower. Both are ideal for creamy sauces and originate from northern Italy. On the other hand, Spaghetti is thin, round, and better suited to lighter, more oil or tomato-based sauces, reflecting its southern Italian roots.
