Ingredients

200 g tagliatelle mixed green and white
200 g chanterelle mushrooms fresh cleaned and roughly chopped
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic finely minced
120 ml double cream
50 ml dry white wine optional
30 g Parmesan finely grated, plus extra for serving
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch nutmeg optional
1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tagliatelle according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
200 g tagliatelle
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large pan over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once melted, add the chanterelle mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until tender and golden, stirring occasionally.
2 tbsp unsalted butter, 1 tbsp olive oil, 200 g chanterelle mushrooms
Add the garlic to the mushrooms and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
2 cloves garlic
Pour in the white wine (if using) and allow it to simmer for 1–2 minutes, letting the alcohol cook off.
50 ml dry white wine
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the double cream, Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
120 ml double cream, 30 g Parmesan, salt, freshly ground black pepper, 1 pinch nutmeg
Add the drained tagliatelle to the sauce, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Sprinkle in the fresh parsley and give it one final toss.
1 tbsp fresh parsley
Divide between two plates and top with extra grated Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!
