Selymes, enyhén mogyorós aromájú és lenyűgözően krémes: ez a sült zelleres tagliatelle az olasz őszi szezon egyik legizgalmasabb tésztaétele. A karamellizált zellergumó édeskés zamata tökéletesen simul össze a vajjal, a frissen reszelt parmezánnal, a ropogósra pirított dióval és a friss kakukkfűvel. Elegáns, melengető olasz fogás, amely 25 perc alatt az asztalra varázsolható.
Ingredients
Preparation method
Preparation and making the silky celeriac cream
Peel the celeriac and cut it into small cubes, approx. 1.5 cm in size. Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and 10 g of butter in a pan, then add the diced celeriac and peeled, finely chopped fresh garlic. Sauté over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms on them.
Pour approx. 1.5 dl of water or stock under the celeriac, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes until the celeriac is completely tender. Then transfer it to a food processor or blender along with half of the picked fresh thyme leaves, a pinch of salt and pepper, and blend until completely silky and smooth.
Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a dry pan without any fat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop them.
Chef's tip
The starchy pasta cooking water is a true treasure in Italian cuisine: when added to the celeriac purée and cold butter, it acts as a natural binder, allowing the sauce to cling perfectly to the pasta.
Pan-frying the celeriac is a key step: caramelisation brings out the vegetable's deep, sweet, nutty notes, which create a perfect contrast with the salty Parmesan.
