Tagliatelle with white ragù

Tadzio Pederzolli–one of Italy’s top food influencers and a Milan-based chef–is redefining Italian cuisine with bold, plant-based flavors. His tagliatelle with white ragù blends mushrooms, plant-based mince, and silky soy cream, elevated by nutmeg and lemon zest.

Ingredients

 

  • 1 leek
  • 1 carrot
  • 3.5 oz (about 1 cup) champignon mushrooms
  • 3.5 oz (about ½ cup) soy cream
  • Nutmeg to taste
  • 1 tbsp. nutritional yeast
  • Olive oil
  • 1 pack of plant-based mince
  • Garlic to taste
  • Rosemary to taste
  • 7 oz. (about 2 cups) egg-free tagliatelle
  • Pepper to taste
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Parsley for garnish

Preparation

 

  1. Sauté the base: Sauté finely chopped leek and diced carrot, then add thinly sliced mushrooms to create the ragù base.
  2. Blend the sauce: Blend half of the sautéed vegetables with soy cream, nutmeg, nutritional yeast, and olive oil until smooth.
  3. Cook the mince: Cook the plant-based mince with garlic, olive oil, and rosemary, removing the rosemary once cooked.
  4. Combine: Stir the mince into the ragù, incorporating the creamy sauce.
  5. Prepare the noodles: Cook the tagliatelle until halfway done, then transfer it to the pan with the ragù to finish cooking risotto-style.
  6. Finish: Garnish with olive oil, pepper, lemon zest, and parsley before serving.
