Tagliatelle with radicchio and speck

To prepare tagliatelle with radicchio and speck, start by chopping all the ingredients you'll need. Start with the shallot: peel and finely chop it with a knife 1. Then cut the speck into sticks of the same length and thickness 2, so that they cook evenly. Lastly, prepare the radicchio by removing the outermost leaves 3.

Cut it in half lengthwise 4, cut away the tough part of the stalk 5 and then slice the radicchio into thin strips 6.

Leave the shallot to sweat on a low flame in a non-stick pan, with a drizzle of oil, for 4-5 minutes. Add the strips of speck and cook for another 4 minutes 7. Add the milk 8 and the tomato puree 9.

Add salt and pepper to taste, cook for 6-7 minutes, to thicken 10. In the meantime, cook the pasta in boiling salted water 11, remove half way into the cooking time and finish cooking directly in the saucepan, together with the sauce 12. In this way you'll create a more intense flavor and enhance the creaminess of this dish.

Once cooked, add the radicchio julienne 13 and stir 14. The tagliatelle with radicchio and speck are ready now 15, simply enjoy them while they're still piping hot!
