Today I’m not sharing my own recipe but one from Gennaro Contaldo – delicious wild mushroom and garlic tagliatelle. It’s one of several pasta and risotto recipes you can find over on the Bertolli website and it’s made using Bertolli with Butter which gives you the goodness of olive oil whist adding in a buttery taste (and it’s lower in saturated fat than just butter alone too 🙂 ).

There’s a few things I really love about this recipe. Firstly it’s quite mix and match with the mushrooms, so you can use whatever you can get hold of (or find in your local field if you’re feeling adventurous – I wasn’t, I’m not even brave enough to go blackberry picking!). My local supermarket has a great range of mushrooms despite not being particularly big, so you should be able to get hold of something delicious without any trouble.

Another thing I love was that it’s really quick to make – just 15 minutes from start to finish so perfect for a quick mid-week dinner. It’s also under 250 calories per serving (unless you completely smother it in cheese that is!) so perfect if you’re trying to be good.

I’ve also been using the Bertolli with Butter to make some of my hasselback potatoes (which are a great accompaniment to all sorts of dinners). They’re usually made using a combination of butter and olive oil, but replacing these two with Bertolli with Butter gives the same lovely flavour with less fuss and fewer calories.

INGREDIENTS

  • 400 g tagliatelle - fresh or dried
  • 50 g Bertolli with Butter - + a little extra for adding at the end
  • 4 cloves of garlic - a little tweak from Gennaro's original recipe which calls for 2, I just like it a bit more garlicky :- )
  • ½ red chilli - optional
  • 400 g mixed wild mushrooms
  • 120 ml hot vegetable stock
  • Small bunch of flat leave parsley
  • Salt
  • Manchego cheese - optional - I like to finish mine off with some freshly grated cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, season with salt and add the tagliatelle. Cook according to the packet instructions.
  • Finely shop the garlic (2-4 cloves) and chilli (½ chilli - if using). Roughly chop the wild mushrooms (400g) and parsley.
  • Heat the Bertolli with Butter in a large frying pan, then add the garlic and chilli. Cook on a low heat for about 4 minutes, until softened.
  • Increase the heat and add the mushrooms. Cook for a minute.
  • Add the hot vegetable stock (120ml) and cook for 3-4 minutes on a medium heat until the mushroom are cooked through and the liquid has reduced a little.
  • Stir in the chopped parsley.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce with an extra knob of Bertolli with Butter.
  • Serve immediately.

    This looks so simple and gorgeous, very low in calories too, so why do I instantly want to spoil that by adding cream and maybe some chicken

    This sounds so delicious Charlotte and straightforward too. I love tagliatelli but recently tried some pappardelle from sainsburys (which looks just like tagliatelli) and it’s amazing. I’ve no idea what gives the difference in flavour but its certainly worth trying.

    Hey lovely! I love this recipe. I went to an event where Gennaro Contaldo was cooking for us and the first thing I did when I went home was cook this receipt again and share it on the blog. So simple yet incredibly tasty!

      I found yours just after I published mine. I’d love to meet him, it must have been a brilliant experience.

      Thanks Vicki. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try, it should be straightforward to adapt for your diet.

    This sounds delicious. I’m all for quick weeknight dinners. My youngest gets SO hungry at teatime that it’s almost impossible to actually cook anything for him because he won’t let me put him down!

      This is definitely something you need to try then as it’s so quick and simple.

    We just love Gennaro’s recipes in this house – especially 8-year-old Paddy who adores him and can cook a meal for the whole family by himself. Delicious!

      That sounds brilliant, my eldest is 5 and can barely butter bread. I’ll have to train him up over the next few years.

    Oooh – don’t tempt me! I want one of those big oval shaped ones – then I could do some serious cooking for the freezer (though I’d probably need a bigger freezer too!) 🙂

      I have the same problem. Mines almost always full of bread and overripe bananas that I didn’t want to throw away! I tend to cook more from fresh instead.

    Yum! This looks lovely – and so speedy!! I’m so with you on the garlic – the more the better in my world – and garlic’s super good for you, right? Love that pot you’ve used to cook it in – I’m a bit obsessed with my cast iron pot at the moment (as you may have noticed 😉 !!) Love the colour of yours – so pretty. It’s a good job they are so expensive or I would have a whole family of them by now!! 🙂 Eb x

      I’m coveting some mini ones at the moment for serving up soup.
