Ingredients
For the sauce
- 200 g tomato pulp or passata
- 8 cherry tomatoes (cut in half) I like to use fresh tomatoes as well but you can just use pulp or passata
- 1 onion peeled and finely chopped
- ½ fresh red chili pepper (peperoncino) cleaned of seeds and finely chopped
- 30 g green olives chopped ( I used taggiasche)
- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
For the egg mixture
- 3 eggs
- 100 ml cooking cream (thick double cream)
- 30 g Pecorino cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon chives chopped
For the pasta muffin nests
- 400 g tagliatelle I used fresh from Giovanni Rana
- 125 g mozzarella 1 ball
- butter for the muffin molds
- salt for pasta and to taste
Instructions
Make the sauce
- Heat 3 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan or skillet and add the chopped onion and chopped peperoncino.
- When the onion has softened add the tomato passata, cherry tomatoes and olives. Salt to taste and continue cooking for about 15 minutes over a low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon until the cherry tomatoes have broken down.
Cook the pasta
- Put a saucepan of water on to boil for the pasta. Add salt once it starts to boil and bring to the boil again. Add a tablespoon of oil to prevent the pasta sticking together and cook the pasta very al dente according to the instructions on the packet. Fresh tagliatelle only needs about 1 minute to cook so you literally only need to blanch it!
- Drain the pasta well and put it in the pan with the tomato sauce, mix the pasta and sauce carefully together and keep aside in a warm place.
Make the egg mixture
- Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly with a pinch of salt; add the cream, grated pecorino cheese and chives. Mix all the ingredients together.
Finish the muffin nests
- Butter the bottom and sides of each mold in a 12 muffin tin and fill them with the tagliatelle and sauce. Pour some of the egg and cream mixture onto each muffin nest and lightly tap the tin on a work surface to make the contents settle. Complete with a couple of diced mozzarella pieces on top of each muffin nest.
- Place the tin in a preheated oven at 180 ° and cook for about 20 minutes, or until a light golden crust has formed on the nests. Remove the tin from the oven, let it cool slightly then extract the nests and serve sprinkle with a few more chives and some fresh basil. (you can also serve with a sprinkling of peperoncino flakes).
Notes
- You can be creative with these pasta muffin nests and use different sauces such as bolognese. You can also use spaghetti instead of tagliatelle!
