Chestnut Tagliatelle with Porcini Mushrooms

Well, after a while I have a longer business trip to UK, where I can manage to commute to work in Southampton (on the coast) from London. Will be tiring, but I always enjoy London even if being away three days from home just before Christmas is not ... well, not the best moment. But sure the shops will be nice and I hope to meet some friends in the evenings for a pint.

Now back to the blog theme. We made this recipe last saturday and yes we were very lucky to find some really tasty fresh porcini. Probably the last. initially, I set out to make a recipe (this one) from Lory for which I she sent me the flour. As usual, I ended up doing something completely different. A truly lovely dish where all components go well including the just cooked mushrooms which roll, feel and look almost like tagliatelle themselves. Even the little touches (the use of cocoa, ground coffee and smoked garlic) help briging the best out of the ingredients.

As I said we loved this recipe: in fact the indicate portions are rather large and we ate it all!! And the chestnut flour proved itself very versatile and easy to use. If only we could find the porcini again .... now, with -7C outside ... I guess it is hopeless.
