Fettuccine Al Mascarpone Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Make the Fettuccine

   In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add eggs. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

   Prepare the Meat Sauce

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.

3. 3

   Add Tomatoes and Simmer

   Add crushed tomatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and let simmer for 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Incorporate Mascarpone

   Stir in the mascarpone cheese and fresh basil into the meat sauce until well combined. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Roll and Cut the Fettuccine

   After the dough has rested, roll it out thinly and cut into fettuccine strips. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until al dente.

6. 6

   Combine and Serve

   Drain the fettuccine and combine with the meat sauce. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
