These fresh pasta, cooked with a creamy sauce of sour cream and cheese, are not just a dish, but a true celebration of flavor! So, let's embark on this delicious recipe together. Total preparation time: 40 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: For the tagliatelle: - 2 fresh eggs - 150 g flour (you can use wheat flour or type 00 flour for a finer texture) - A pinch of salt For the sauce: - 1 medium onion - 3 garlic cloves - 250 g sour cream (high-fat sour cream is ideal for a creamier texture) - 200 g cheese (choose a quality cheese that melts well) - Salt and pepper to taste - 2 tablespoons olive oil Preparation: 1. Making the tagliatelle: - In a large bowl, crack the 2 eggs and add a pinch of salt. Gently mix with a fork. - Sift the flour onto a clean surface or into a bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour, like a volcano, and pour the eggs into this well. - Start incorporating the flour into the eggs, mixing with a fork or your fingers, until you obtain a compact dough. If necessary, you can add a little water, but be careful not to make the dough too wet. - Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover it with a damp towel or plastic wrap, letting it rest for 10-15 minutes. - After resting, sprinkle flour on the work surface and roll out the dough into a thin sheet, using a rolling pin or a pasta machine. If using a machine, start with the thickest setting and gradually reduce the thickness. - Once you have the desired sheet, roll it tightly and cut it into strips about 1 cm wide. Place the pasta strips on a floured surface to prevent sticking. Let them dry for a few minutes. 2. Boiling the pasta: - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the tagliatelle and cook for about 2 minutes, or until they rise to the surface. These fresh pasta do not require much cooking time! - After boiling, drain them well in a colander, being careful to shake off any excess flour. 3. Making the sauce: - In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another minute, being careful not to burn it. - Reduce the heat and add the sour cream, mixing well. Let the sauce simmer gently for a few minutes, then add the grated cheese. Stir constantly until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes creamy. - Adjust the taste with salt and pepper as desired. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to thin it out. 4. Finishing the dish: - Add the cooked tagliatelle to the skillet with the creamy sauce and mix well, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. Let them warm together for a minute. - Serve the tagliatelle hot, possibly with a little grated cheese on top and a sprinkle of freshly ground pepper. These pasta are excellent alongside a garlic-infused chicken stew, which will perfectly complement the flavors! Practical tips: - If you want to experiment with flavors, try adding a few fresh basil leaves or chopped parsley to the sauce. - Instead of cheese, you can use parmesan for a stronger taste. If you want a spicier sauce, add a pinch of chili pepper. - You can even add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for a healthier and heartier option.
