- 50 grams of butter

Leave the dry mushrooms to soak in ½ litre of water
for 2 hours.
In the meantime, cut the sausage into small pieces and fry in olive oil
for 5-6minutes over a high flame. Add the white wine, allow to evaporate
and reduce completely, remove the pan from the heat and with a slotted spoon
remove the sausage and keep warm.
Take the mushrooms which have been soaking and squeeze out the water (make
sure they are clean and no earth is left on them), put them in the blender.
Filter the water in which the mushrooms were soaking and heat it, then pour
into the blender together with the butter, garlic, flour and calamint blend
well until you have a homogenous liquid.
Put them in the pan in which the sausage was cooked and re-heat mixing the
pan juices in well, turn the heat to low, cover and bring to the boil and
simmer for 5-6 minutes stirring often.
At the end of this time add the "porcini" mushrooms and the pieces
of sausage, stir and amalgamate well, leave to simmer covered for another
10 minutes, stirring every so often.
After which add the tomato juice. Again carefully mix all the ingredients
return to the boil and again on the lowest heat and still covered cook for
a further 20 minutes naturally stirring every so often.
A few minutes before removing from the heat, taste and adjust seasoning.
Serve the tagliatelle previously boiled in lightly salted water until they
are "al dente", directly on the plate with the sauce and a generous
helping of ground black pepper. |
