How to make homemade tagliatelle without a pasta machine
Begin by placing the eggs in the middle of the flour mound. Gradually mix the eggs with the flour using a fork until the mixture starts to come together. Then, work the dough with your hands until it becomes elastic.
Next, divide the dough into two or three parts and work with each part separately. Using a rolling pin, roll each portion as thinly as possible, forming a rectangular sheet.
Dust each sheet with flour, roll it up, and use a sharp knife to cut the rolled dough into tagliatelle strips. When you unroll the pasta, you will have long, thin strips. Let the tagliatelle dry for at least 10 minutes.
To cook the tagliatelle, place it in salted boiling water and cook until al dente, about 3–4 minutes.
How to Prepare the Tomato Chicken Sauce
While the pasta dries, heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Then, stir in the carrot, garlic, celery root, and bell pepper, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the chicken to the saucepan and cook until the meat has lost its raw color. Stir in the paprika, then add the tomatoes, water, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until most of the water has evaporated. Add the chopped basil a few minutes before the sauce is done.
Serve the tagliatelle with the tomato chicken sauce, topped with freshly grated cheese.
