Pin Recipe
Ingredients
- 40 grams dried porcini mushrooms
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 600 grams chestnut mushrooms finely diced
- 3 onions chopped
- 5 garlic cloves crushed
- 3 carrots grated
- 3 celery stalks finely diced
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves chopped
- 2 tsp rosemary leaves chopped
- 1 ½ tsp celery salt
- 1 tsp aniseed
- 3 tbsp tomato purée
- 2 tins chopped tomatoes 2 x 400grams
- 1 tbsp basil
- 500 grams tagliatelle
Instructions
- Using a medium-size bowl, add the porcini mushrooms in the bowl with 200ml boiling water, leave to soak.
- In a large non-stick pan heat 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil.
- Add the chestnut mushrooms and a pinch of salt and fry, stirring regularly until they start to soften and give out the liquid.
- Keep frying until all the moisture has evaporated and the mushrooms have colored to a dark golden brown. Don't skimp on this bit as this will ensure you get the maximum flavor in the finished sauce.
- Scoop out the mushrooms then add the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery to the same pan with another 1 ½ tablespoon of olive oil and stir well.
- Put on the lid and cook for 10 minutes, stirring now and again or until veggies have softened.
- Add the herbs, celery salt, aniseed, and tomato purée.
- Drain the porcini mushrooms, keeping the liquid.
- Chop the porcini well and add to the sauce along with the strained liquid.
- Put the cooked chestnut mushrooms back in.
- Stirring for a minute then tip in the chopped tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
- Cook the tagliatelle pasta for 20 minutes, then drain and toss with the sauce before serving.
- Cook for 30 minutes until the sauce is rich and thick and stir through the basil just before serving.
