*recipe adapted from barilla.com
Ingredients
Serves 4
340g Ham & Cheese Tortellini
1 jar Basilico sauce
½ onion, finely chopped
½ carrot, finely chopped
½ celery stick, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 glass of red wine
300g veal mince
20g Italian Pancetta, thinly sliced
20g dried Porcini mushrooms
50g Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
Extra Virgin Olive oil
Rock salt, for pasta water
Sea salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
In a large pot, bring plenty of water to the boil, add rock salt. We recommend 7 grams per liter of water.
Porcini:
Place dried Porcini mushrooms in a small bowl, cover with boiling water and leave for 5 minutes. Tip water, then replace water and leave for a further 5 minutes.
Sauce:
In a large frypan, gently cook guanciale with a drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive oil until golden. Add garlic, button, and Porcini mushrooms to guanciale and continue cooking until the water has evaporated. Add the red wine and allow to evaporate, then add the Barilla Basilico sauce to the frypan, bring to a simmer and cook for one minute.
Pasta:
Drop the Tortellini into the boiling water, and cook according to the instructions on the pack. Drain the pasta two minutes before the suggested cooking time, saving half a cup of the cooking water. Add Tortellini and cooking water to the sauce and allow the pasta to finish cooking.
Remove from the heat, then add the cheese and parsley, and stir through. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil.
