Tajarin with Porcini Mushrooms and Herbs
Tajarin (pronounced tah-tahreen) is a specialty of the Piedmont region of Northern Italy. The name is a dialect variation of taglierini, which just means thin little ribbons. This pasta often contains a higher egg ratio and has a lovely bite. It's most commonly served with white truffle or leftover roast drippings but here we made a sumptuous, buttery mushroom sauce to coat the pasta.
