When life gives you chanterelles you make the best pasta dish ever! Hubs bought me a big bag of chanterelle mushrooms and I just love them. When thinking about what to cook with them, a pasta dish really was a no brainer. I’ve really been into these simple pasta dishes lately. While I’ll always love a nice hearty sauce, something about the simplicity of these ingredients that allows the beautiful flavor of Chanterelles to shine just can’t be beat. You won’t believe how incredible this basic list of ingredients will taste once they’re all together!
What Is Tagliatelle?
This is a traditional type of flat, long, and wide pasta. It’s similar to fettuccine; just a bit wider. It can be used with thick ragu-style sauces or something lighter like this recipe here. If you can’t hunt down any tagliatelle, try out fettuccine, linguini, or even spaghetti.
Ingredient Notes
Tagliatelle – Other pastas such as fettuccine or linguini will work as well. Chanterelle mushrooms – I found these mushrooms at my local Italian centre. You can also use other mushrooms such as porcinis, royal trumpets, morels or oyster mushrooms. Olive oil – Canola, safflower, and peanut oils are also great options. Onion – I used a white onion for its more mild flavor. Garlic – Use as much or as little as you like. White wine – Make sure to use a dry variety such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. Parsley – I really suggest getting some nice fresh parsley over using dried. It makes a big difference in flavor! Salt & pepper – Season to taste. Parmesan cheese – Romano, Grana Padano, or asiago are great substitutes.

What Type of White Wine Works Best?
When cooking savory recipes with wine, it’s always best to use dry varieties. You can use Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, or Pinot Blanc. The particular tasting notes of the wine don’t matter so much since we will be cooking it down with all these lovely flavors. Grab a bottle that you’d want to drink, and enjoy what you don’t use in the recipe alongside dinner. If you want to make this recipe alcohol-free use 1/2 cup either chicken or vegetable stock plus 2 tsp regular white vinegar or white wine vinegar.
Will This Work With Other Types of Mushrooms?
Chanterelles have a wonderful floral and peppery flavor which is perfect for this simple recipe. While it’s hard to replicate the flavor, any other varieties of firm wild mushrooms will work. Porcinis, royal trumpets, morels, oyster mushrooms or even shiitake will be great in this recipe. To clean the mushrooms, don’t use any water. They will soak it all up and could end up with a mushy consistency after cooking. Simply brush or gently wipe any dirt off. This mushroom brush has been a life-saver for me!
How to Store Leftovers
If you have leftover Chanterelle mushrooms with tagliatelle. store it in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll last 3-5 days. To reheat, use either the microwave or reheat in a skillet over medium heat. I don’t recommend freezing this recipe. As it thaws, the pasta will become very soft and mushy. I wouldn’t worry about too many leftovers, though! Everyone will be going back for seconds.
