Tagliatelle recipe
- 0 Giblets from 1 chicken
- 1 tbsp Thyme leaves
- 3 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 Juice and zest of lemon
- 300 g (10.6oz) Tagliatelle, or any pasta shape you like
- 1 Head of broccoli, cut into small f lorets with a bit of wispy stalk at the ends (try with purple sprouting broccoli in the spring)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Small onion or banana shallot, finely chopped
- 300 g (10.6oz) Mushrooms (wild ones work really nicely but chestnut or portobellos will do)
- 300 ml (10.6fl oz) White wine (a sweeter wine like Riesling works well here)
- 150 ml (5.3fl oz) Double cream
- 1 handful Parsley or tarragon leaves chopped
- 1 pinch Sea salt and black pepper
- Get a pot of boiling water on the go for your pasta.
- Add the neck from the giblets to the water, with a pinch of salt.
- Let it bubble away for a few minutes while you chop the giblets.
- You can use everything else for the sauce, or you can save the liver for the pate and just use the rest to flavour the sauce.
- Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut everything into 1cm (or smaller) pieces.
- Set aside.
- Mix the giblets with the thyme, garlic and lemon zest.
- Add the pasta to the pan and cook until al dente.
- Add the broccoli and cook for a minute longer.
- Drain.
- Remove the neck - you can shred a bit of the meat off, if you like, and add to the pasta.
- Season and drizzle a bit of olive oil over.
- Set in a warm spot.
- The sauce only takes a few minutes to make.
- Place a large pan over medium heat.
- Add a splash of olive oil.
- Once hot, add the onion or shallot and the mushrooms.
- Saute until golden, add more olive oil if needed.
- Add the garlic, giblets, thyme leaves, lemon juice and zest.
- Cook for a few minutes, until the giblets turn a mushroomy browny-grey.
- Splash in the wine.
- Let it bubble up and reduce a bit.
- Lower the heat.
- Stir in the cream.
- Season.
- Reheat the pasta and broccoli for a minute, if needed.
- Pile onto plates and pour the sauce over the top.
- Finish with a dusting of herbs.
- Delicious with a glass of wine and some bread to mop up the sauce.
