Method
- To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the bacon, onion, garlic, carrot, and celery, and fry for about six minutes or until tender. Stir in the minced lamb and stir-fry until the lamb is brown. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, lemon zest, bay leaf, and parsley. Lightly season with salt (the bacon is quite salty). Add pepper and freshly grated nutmeg to taste
- Return the mixture to the boil and simmer gently for 30 minutes until it forms a thick, flavoursome sauce, then remove the lemon zest, bay leaf, and parsley. Add half the parmesan to the sauce
- Turn the gluten free pasta dough out onto a lightly floured surface (with gluten free flour) and knead for a few minutes, until it is smooth
- Divide the dough into two equal pieces. Take the first piece and roll it out onto a lightly floured work surface to a 1mm thickness. If the dough starts to stick, dust it with a light coating of gluten free flour. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into thin strips about 4mm in width and as long as you can manage in length
- Just before you are ready to serve, drop the tagletelli into a pan of boiling, salted water, until al dente - about 4-5 minutes. Drain thoroughly and heap into a serving bowl. Add the butter and 4 tablespoons of Parmesan.
- Toss well and serve with the sauce and extra Parmesan.
