# Ingredients:
→ Tagliatelle Nests
01 -
200 g dried tagliatelle
02 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 -
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
→ Filling & Topping
04 -
8 tablespoons Nutella (approximately 2 tablespoons per nest)
05 -
40 g roasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
06 -
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tagliatelle until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and rinse briefly with cold water to halt cooking.
02 -
Combine the cooked tagliatelle with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and sugar, if using. Gently toss to coat, ensuring the noodles are separated and flavored.
03 -
On a parchment-lined baking tray, shape four equal portions of tagliatelle into nest forms, leaving a hollow at the center for filling.
04 -
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Using a spatula, delicately transfer each nest to the skillet and pan-fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp at the edges.
05 -
Place the nests on serving plates. While still warm, fill each hollow center with 2 tablespoons of Nutella.
06 -
Generously sprinkle with chopped roasted hazelnuts, and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
For an extra treat, drizzle melted chocolate over the finished nests or accompany with a scoop of vanilla gelato.
02 -
Roasted almonds or pistachios can be substituted for hazelnuts.
03 -
Nests may be shaped and fried in advance, then gently reheated before filling and garnishing.
