baked tagliatelle nests
Here is the recipe for preparing baked tagliatelle nests, a rich and stringy first course:

Ingredients:

– 400 g egg tagliatelle
– 300 g mozzarella, chopped
– 200 g cooked ham, diced
– 200 g mushrooms, sliced
– 300 ml fresh cream
– 100 g grated parmesan
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 2 tablespoons flour
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. Cook the tagliatelle in plenty of salted water following the instructions on the package. Drain al dente and set aside.

3. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced ​​button mushrooms and diced ham. Cook for a few minutes until the mushrooms are soft and the ham is lightly browned.

4. Add the flour to the skillet and stir well to form a roux. Cook for a minute, then gradually add the fresh cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Add the cooked tagliatelle to the skillet with the sauce and stir gently to coat evenly.
6. Prepare a lightly buttered baking sheet. Take a handful of the seasoned tagliatelle and form them into nests with your hands. Arrange the tagliatelle nests on the baking sheet.

7. Distribute the mozzarella pieces over the tagliatelle nests. Sprinkle with grated parmesan.

8. Bake the pan in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.

9. Remove the baked tagliatelle nests from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
