Tagliatelle with mushrooms and white pepper

This is a very modest way of serving freshly made tagliatelle, but without a doubt one of the tastiest. Sprinkle the dish with chopped flat leaved parsley.

You will need...

400 g Fresh tagliatelle
250 ml Parmesan cheese, grated
0.25 cup Olive oil

Tagliatelle with mushrooms and white pepper Method

Boil the tagliatelle in plenty of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and reserve some of the cooking liquid.
Wipe the mushrooms clean and cut into thick slices. Heat 30 ml of the olive oil in a large saucepan and cook the mushrooms over high heat until nicely browned. Set aside
Place the cheese in a big mixing bowl and add the remaining olive oil and white pepper. Mix to a creamy paste adding a ladle or two of the cooking liquid.
Add the drained tagliatelle to the cheese paste and toss well. Add the mushrooms and mix well.
Serve immediately, sprinkled with the parsley.
