If you cook it too much, it loses juiciness and flavor.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Milk is the key<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A little milk, well integrated with the Parmesan, achieves a creamy texture without resorting to cream.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Everything from the supermarket<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need rare or expensive ingredients. Done right, even with frozen mushrooms, the result is spectacular.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>How to prepare the pasta with mushrooms and ham<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Saut\u00e9 the mushrooms correctly<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Heat a large pan with a little <strong>butter<\/strong> and <strong>extra virgin olive oil<\/strong>. Add the whole garlic clove and the frozen mushrooms directly, without thawing. Cook them over medium heat until they release all their water.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Taste and adjust the salt<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When the mushrooms start to run out of liquid, taste them. This is the important trick: they often come without salt, so adjust it now. When they are ready, remove the garlic and discard it.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Add the ham and wine<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Incorporate the diced ham and give them just a quick burst of heat. We don&#8217;t want them to dry out. Add a small splash of <strong>dry white wine<\/strong> and let the alcohol evaporate completely.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The creamy touch without cream<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When it no longer smells like alcohol, add a little <strong>milk<\/strong>. This small gesture provides a lactic touch that, together with the Parmesan, makes the sauce creamy without the need for cream.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Pasta, cooking water, and final union<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Cook the <strong>tagliatelle<\/strong> in plenty of salted water. When they are almost ready, transfer them directly to the pan with the sauce. Add a ladle of <strong>cooking water<\/strong> and mix everything together so the pasta finishes cooking there.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Parmesan, parsley, and pepper<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Turn off the heat and add <strong>grated Parmesan<\/strong>, <strong>chopped parsley<\/strong>, and <strong>black pepper<\/strong>. Give it one last stir to integrate the sauce well.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><!-- Inicio Secci\u00f3n FAQ --><\/p>\n<div id=\"faq\">\n<h3>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n<div class=\"faq-item\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<h4>Can fresh mushrooms be used instead of frozen ones?<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Jost', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 5px;\">Yes, you can use fresh mushrooms without any problem.

comforting dish, this recipe is for you. This pasta with mushrooms and ham is just for those moments: few ingredients, all from the supermarket, a couple of well-thought-out tricks, and a creamy result without the need to add cream.

It is a recipe from the tips and tweaks series, designed to get straight to the point and solve your meal in minutes, without sacrificing the flavor or texture of good Italian-style pasta.

Ingredients (For 2-3 people) 250 g fresh egg tagliatelle 450 g mushroom stir-fry mix (frozen) 90 g diced serrano ham 25 g butter 1 garlic clove Fresh chopped parsley Dry white wine Milk Grated Parmesan cheese Black pepper and salt Extra virgin olive oil Remember: At the end of the article, you will find the complete recipe card with detailed cooking and preparation times. Tips and tweaks to make it perfect Don&#8217;t dry out the ham The ham only needs heat. If you cook it too much, it loses juiciness and flavor. Milk is the key A little milk, well integrated with the Parmesan, achieves a creamy texture without resorting to cream. Everything from the supermarket You don&#8217;t need rare or expensive ingredients. Done right, even with frozen mushrooms, the result is spectacular. How to prepare the pasta with mushrooms and ham Saut\u00e9 the mushrooms correctly Heat a large pan with a little butter and extra virgin olive oil. Add the whole garlic clove and the frozen mushrooms directly, without thawing. Cook them over medium heat until they release all their water. Taste and adjust the salt When the mushrooms start to run out of liquid, taste them. This is the important trick: they often come without salt, so adjust it now. When they are ready, remove the garlic and discard it. Add the ham and wine Incorporate the diced ham and give them just a quick burst of heat. We don&#8217;t want them to dry out. Add a small splash of dry white wine and let the alcohol evaporate completely. The creamy touch without cream When it no longer smells like alcohol, add a little milk. This small gesture provides a lactic touch that, together with the Parmesan, makes the sauce creamy without the need for cream. Pasta, cooking water, and final union Cook the tagliatelle in plenty of salted water. When they are almost ready, transfer them directly to the pan with the sauce. Add a ladle of cooking water and mix everything together so the pasta finishes cooking there. Parmesan, parsley, and pepper Turn off the heat and add grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, and black pepper. Give it one last stir to integrate the sauce well. Frequently Asked Questions Can fresh mushrooms be used instead of frozen ones? Yes, you can use fresh mushrooms without any problem. In that case, they will release less water and the saut\u00e9ing will be faster. Why is cream not used in this recipe? The creaminess is achieved with a little milk, Parmesan, and pasta cooking water, keeping the result lighter. What type of pasta works best? Fresh tagliatelle are ideal, but you can also use fettuccine or similar long pasta. Can it be prepared in advance? It is best to eat it freshly made to enjoy its creamy texture. Is it necessary to thaw the mushrooms beforehand? No, you can use them directly from the freezer to the pan. Just make sure to follow the trick of letting all the water evaporate before continuing with the rest of the steps. What white wine should I use? Always use a good quality wine, one that you would drink with the meal. A dry white like Rueda or a Chardonnay goes perfectly with this dish.
