WE USUALLY EAT THIS RAGÙ AT MY FRIEND PAOLO’S IN ALBENGA. A VERY GOOD RECIPE CONTENDED AMONG LIGURIAN AND PIEMONTESE CULINARY TRADITION.

CURIOSITIES AND MATCHES

Its peculiar taste is due to the wonderful flavour of toasted hazelnuts. Maybe the idea of a meatless ragù might seem weird, but you can use it as a pasta sauce in just the usual way: heat it in a pan, tip in the hot drained pasta adding a splash of the cooking water and toss over a high heat for a few minutes, a finishing sprinkle of Parmigiano and your pasta is ready. Use whatever type of dried pasta you like best, but the Ragù di Nocciole is absolutely perfect with fresh egg pasta such as tagliatelle or maccheroncini.
You can also use the Ragù between the layers of a vegan Lasagna and enhance its taste by adding some dried porcini mushrooms or cauliflower or any other vegetables you like.
