Follow Us
Directions
Boil the water to cook the pasta and, in the meantime, cut the mortadella with a heart-shaped cutter
In a large frying pan, pour the oil and lightly fry the mortadella on both sides, then lift it up and set it aside
In the same pan, briefly toast 100g/4oz of the chopped pistachios
As soon as the water boils, add the pasta and then the salt
Add the cream cheese, dilute it with 2 ladles of pasta cooking water and add the Parmesan
Drain the scialatielli halfway through cooking, pour them into the pan with the cream cheese and sauté them 5/6 times (or turn them with two spoons), so that they are well blended but not too dry
Serve and decorate as desired with the hearts of mortadella and chopped pistachios
Tips
- Drain the pasta al dente, i.e. halfway through cooking, because it continues to cook when you sauté.
- If it dries out too much, add a little more cooking water.
Storage
- Cooked scialatielli should be eaten immediately but, for various circumstances, 1 day in the fridge is always piping hot.
