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)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and toss again to combine. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Divide the pasta between two serving plates and garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy!
