Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Fresh tagliolini pasta
- 200 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 20 grams Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the mascarpone cheese and stir gently until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to let it boil.
Stir in the grated nutmeg, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until evenly combined. Keep the sauce warm over very low heat.
Once the water in the pot boils, add the fresh tagliolini pasta and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until just al dente. Fresh pasta cooks very quickly, so watch it closely.
Using tongs, transfer the cooked pasta directly into the saucepan with the mascarpone sauce, allowing a little pasta water to cling to the noodles. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water in case you need to adjust the sauce consistency.
Toss the pasta gently in the mascarpone sauce until evenly coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water and mix until it reaches your desired consistency.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and toss again to combine. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Divide the pasta between two serving plates and garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
