Method

Pasta Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Pasta Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add the eggs, and mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic and let rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll the Pasta

    After resting, roll out the dough using a pasta machine or a rolling pin to your desired thickness. Cut into tagliatelle strips.

Bolognese Sauce

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until soft. Add ground beef, cook until browned.

  2. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Stir in crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Salad Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber. Toss with dressing of choice.

Vanilla Budino

  1. 6

    Make the Budino

    In a saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat until thickened, then pour into serving cups and chill.

Salted Caramel

  1. 7

    Prepare the Caramel

    In a saucepan, melt sugar over medium heat until it turns amber. Stir in butter until melted, then add heavy cream and sea salt. Stir until smooth.

Final Assembly

    Assemble the Meal

    Cook the tagliatelle in salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes until al dente. Serve with bolognese sauce on top, alongside salad and bread. Top the budino with warm salted caramel before serving.
