🧰 Tools Needed

1. Mixing bowl (preferably large)

3. Pasta machine (e.g., Kenwood XL Chef with attachments)
   
4. Rolling pin (if no machine available)

🔪 Instructions for 🥚 Eggs pasta

1. In a large bowl, add egg whites, semolina flour, salt, and nutmeg. Start mixing with an electric mixer.
   
2. Continue kneading by hand until dough is smooth. Shape into a compact bar (like a soap block), wrap, and rest in fridge.
   
3. After resting, divide dough into 4 pieces.
   
4. Roll each piece through the pasta machine, from thicker to thinner settings (not too thin – ideal thickness is 1.5–2 setting).
   
5. Use the tagliatelle cutter attachment and cut the sheets into ribbons. Dust with semolina to prevent sticking.
   
6. Transfer onto a rack or clean surface to dry slightly.

🔪 Instructions for 🍄 Mushroom Sauce

1. In a pan, melt butter with a drizzle of olive oil. Add thyme and onions, cook until soft.
   
2. Add mushrooms and white wine, reduce the liquid slightly.
   
3. Finish with cream, salt and pepper, and a bit of mushroom juice if cooked separately.
   
4. Once creamy, add Grana Padano and a touch of truffle oil (off heat).

🍽 Finishing:

1. Cook tagliatelle in boiling salted water for 2 minutes or until al dente.
   
2. Drain (reserve a spoon of pasta water), add to sauce, and toss gently.
   
3. Serve hot, topped with extra Grana Padano and a drizzle of black truffle oil.

💡 Notes & Tips

• This pasta is inspired by my mother’s diet-friendly version using egg whites, believed to be lower in cholesterol. While not a certified dietician, I apply culinary and academic food knowledge.
  
• If your dough feels wet, add a touch of semolina—it’s easier to fix a moist dough than to rebalance a dry one.
  
• Use a larger bowl when working with an electric mixer to reduce mess and improve kneading control.
