Hi lovely people, here I am in Tuscany, this
town is called Panzano, and it's
so incredibly beautiful. But, I'm here also
for cooking, let me show you how to make
tagliatelle pasta with dried
porcini. Many people ask me "well we can't
find fresh mushrooms, they go around
everywhere. Can we do something with
dried mushrooms?" So easy, so delicious.
All you have to do is, buy a little packet
of dried mushrooms, just put them
inside warm water, and after half an hour
you get this beautiful mushrooms which
you haven't even touched yet.
Look, lovely and soft. You need 1 clove of
garlic, you use about a quarter of a dried
chilli.
You can buy already cut, you
don't have to do that.
Lovely tomatoes look, small tomatoes, you
just cut them in half once, you cut it again,
chop it, then you got all the tomato here.
You
need an olive oil, so this is nice one
look at that. This particular olive oil
just comes from round there, actually
those little trees. So, straight in a
pan, now you got garlic and chilli
straight in. Just sweat, but do not burn.
Get all the mushrooms inside
fantastic! Sauté them, just a little bit,
now look, that is so marvellous.
Now, here at the back I have some lovely
pasta water boiling, just be very
careful.
Keep stirring it, just a little bit, but
always be careful. Now, because we had
the dried mushrooms in water this is
lovely water, you can use it and it give us
such a fantastic flavour,
so you've got this beautiful sauce. Just a
nice bit of
parsley, stalks chop, very very fine. Just
at the end
you go to the leaves, that's enough. Then
you get the tomatoes inside, the basil inside.
Simple, season with a little bit
of salt, pepper.
Don't forget, when you actually boil
pasta the water is already salted, so if
you use pasta water just a balance how much
salt there is.
The sauce is ready,
look at that so simple. It's incredible!
Very and full of a flavour. Now, let's put
the pasta inside you see behind, I have
another hob. Just put fresh pasta inside.
Can you see beyond? They all collect 
the olives.
Salvé!
They said stop working, we will get some wine
here, come along, lets drink. This is what
I'm talking about
Arrivederci! Ah what lovely people.
That's good, this is done. Oh yes! Oh my my
this is
what I'm talking about.
This is so nice, believe me, and you have
to
believe me dried mushrooms, special dry
porcini that's all good.
This is what I'm talking about,
lovely tagliatelle with wild mushrooms,
dried porcini. Wow, oh yes, oh my goodness
me. This is the best.
I will finish off with a little grated parmesan.
Now I need some nice big leaves, chop just
roughly,
cause I love parsley. See it's not
too big, just put little bits on the top,
like this one.
From there, to here, here to here. Thank you
lovely people and thank you Tuscany.

porcini
