Tagatelle and Mushrooms

Chelseagirl · Tagatelle and Mushrooms

I have some fresh tagatele in the fridge and some mushrooms.
Has anyone got a nice recipe for Tagatelle and Mushrooms in cream sauce, not the shop bought sauce though.
I fancy making it for dinner tonight.

Thanks

Sorry, just noticed this.

Yuk, shop bought sauces! YUK!!!!

Here is one I just thought of.

Onions, mushroom, pancetta or cubes of bacon, cream (double or creme fraise), saffron, garlic, white wine (or sherry).

Fry off onions lightly until soft.
Add a few chopped cloves of garlic (I usually use at least 3 cloves for a 2 person size portion)
Soften, but not brown
Add mushrooms and bacon
Meanwhile, add a few strands of saffron to a few teaspoons of water.
When nearly done, add a good size glass of white wine. Bring to boil and cook the alcohol off, whilst still retaining the liquid.
Add the saffron water
Season
Add a dash of worchester sauce.
Add the cream (not too much). Warm gently.
I like LOADS of black pepper.

Simple.
The sauce will cling to that gorgeous tagetelle.

:-)Can you remember, did you actually end up having it that night?

Chelseagirl

No lol

No one told me how ha ha
I probably had a veggie stir fry instead.

That sounds very nice though, I will try it myself.

I had pasta with prawns and a shop bought sauce last night & it was tasteless.

Chelseagirl

I am having it tonight.

Mmmm can't wait.

Are you doing my receipe?

I did this myself the other day and it was lovely, but I did it with chicken and added paprika and a bit of chicken stock.
You don't need to add a lot of cream either, keep adding a bit at a time and taste until you get the amount of creamy texture and flavour you want.

Are you adding the pancetta/bacon? Make sure it's crispy before you add anything else.

Enjoy!

Hi GQB
Yes I am doing your receipe, but no I won't be adding the bacon (I don't eat Pork)

The Chicken sounds good, but I had chicken last night, so just veggie version tonight.
I'll do the chicken version next week.

Oh missed this recipe when you first posted in - that sounds lovely - think I will give it a go this week.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm it was delicious.
I feel all fat and full now lol.

I uses red onion so it looked like I had bacon in it.
I might try it with bacon next time for hubby.
I can pick it out

I will definitely try it with Chicken though.

Thank you for the recipe, I will put it in my book.

YW.

The chicken also works well with peppers. Creme freche, incidentally, has less fat than double cream and works just as well.
