# Ingredients:

01 - 250g tagliatelle

→ Mushroom Mixture

02 - 300g wild mushrooms, roughly torn
03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 1 teaspoon salt
05 - 1 teaspoon black pepper
06 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
07 - 1 teaspoon dried sage
08 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
09 - 1 teaspoon chili flakes, adjust to taste
10 - 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

# Directions:

01 - Clean the mushrooms thoroughly, finely dice the shallot, and mince the garlic cloves.
02 - Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add tagliatelle and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain when ready.
03 - Heat a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add the wild mushrooms and dry-fry for 6-8 minutes until they begin to release moisture. Once moisture appears, add olive oil and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, dried thyme, dried sage, and chili flakes.
04 - When mushrooms begin to brown, pour in the balsamic vinegar and add butter. Allow to sizzle for 30 seconds, then add garlic and shallot. Sauté until fragrant, approximately 1-2 minutes.
05 - Add the drained tagliatelle to the skillet and toss thoroughly to coat with the mushroom mixture. Divide among serving plates and top each portion with torn burrata, a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts, and fresh thyme if desired.
