Making Fresh Pasta. Video Recipe!

Fresh Tagliatelle con Funghi

As I watched my friend Steve make us fresh tagliatelle I wondered: "Is it really just 3 eggs and 300g of semolina flour?" Yes it is... Those are all the ingredients needed to make delicious fresh pasta. But of course you will also need a pasta machine. 

Here is Steve's recipe for homemade tagliatelle con funghi:




Ingredients
3 large eggs
300 gr of 00 (doppio zero) flour
For the sauce:
1Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil + more to drizzle over the pasta before serving
2 cups oyster mushrooms (he also used dry porcini, which he rehydrated in warm water)
2 shallots, finely minced
Chiffonade of basil (about 7 leaves)
Freshly grated Parmiggiano
