Pork Fillet Tagliatelle alla Castellana: Recipe from Trentino-Alto Adige.

This creamy pork fillet tagliatelle is a beautiful elegant fresh pasta recipe from Trentino-Alto Adige known as tagliatelle alla Castellana in Italian. The fairly easy pork fillet sauce includes mushrooms, cream, brandy and pancetta! A delicious rich and filling Italian mountain recipe!

tagliatelle alla Castellana recipe from Trentino-Alto Adige

Tagliatelle alla Castellana.

I always find it so interesting how different the cuisine is in Italy’s regions, even though on a global scale Italy is a small country! So many dishes in the South of the country are made with olive oil, tomatoes and plenty of garlic. And, the pasta is either dried or homemade with just flour and water. Butter and cream are hardly ever used. In fact, Southerners traditionally don’t make pasta recipes like this mushroom and pork fillet tagliatelle alla Castellana.

In Northern Italy, on the other hand, dairy products find their way into lots of dishes and pasta is mostly made with eggs, even dried pasta.

The cream and butter.

In my opinion, the best cheese, milk, cream and butter in Italy come from the Alpine mountain areas. This is most probably because the dairy cows don’t spend their whole lives eating forage in a stall, but get to eat real grass in high mountain pastures and meadows! Even today, sheep and cows are still taken up to the pastures in summer and left to graze, under the watchful eye of herders or the farmer and his family.

In fact, we know a family who have a dairy farm near us. Every summer, the father takes his cows up to pasture. He spends most of the summer with them there. The cows are milked on the mountain. In fact, there are a number of delicious Italian cheeses made only with the raw milk from meadow grazing cows in summer!! This movement of livestock from the valleys to the mountain pastures is called Alpine transhumance. This is actually a very old pastoral tradition that dates back to the Bronze Age!

Needless to say, many Alpine recipes, like this creamy pork fillet tagliatelle alla Castellana, have a generous amount of dairy in them. This sauce is cooked with butter not olive oil and enriched with cream.  It also includes brandy, although grappa would be more typical!

The pasta.

In the past, pasta wasn’t so popular in the Italian Dolomites. Polenta, bread and rice were the main staple ingredients of  most dishes. And, they still form the basis for many recipes. However, nowadays, there are many great pasta recipes enjoyed in Italy’s mountain areas.

Tagliatelle is by far the most popular fresh egg pasta in Trentino- Alto Adige. In fact, I have a number of tagliatelle recipes from this region that I want to publish here on The Pasta Project. Among my favourites published so far is schuttelbrot tagliatelle with chanterelle mushrooms and speck.  The pasta in that recipe is made from rye bread!

chopped pancetta in skillet with mushrooms and onions

The pasta I used for this creamy pork fillet tagliatelle was a dried tagliatelle from our local pasta maker. Here in Italy, most towns have a small ‘pastificio’ (pasta maker), where you can buy fresh pasta. It’s a bit like going to the bakers!  Many of these places also dry some of the pasta they make, so you can purchase dried too!

The pork fillet (tenderloin).

Pork is probably the most popular meat in Italy. There are some delicious Italian pork recipes. Plus, every region has its famous hams, sausages, salami and other cured pork products (salumi).  Salumi or cold cuts were traditionally made when pigs were butchered  in the late autumn. These were then stored to guarantee a supply of meat during the cold winter months.

ready mushroom and pork fillet sauce in skillet

This tagliatelle alla Castellana has two types of pork in it, pork fillet and pancetta. Some recipes I found for this dish included pork loin, instead of fillet and speck, instead of pancetta. So, you could use any combination. In other words, fillet and speck or loin and pancetta. However, pork fillet (also called tenderloin) needs much less cooking than pork loin. Plus it’s a lot more tender. I definitely prefer it for this recipe.

Other ingredients in this creamy pork fillet tagliatelle.

Apart from the pork, pasta and dairy, tagliatelle alla Castellana calls for mushrooms, brandy, one clove of garlic and a small onion. In the original recipe, the mushrooms are fresh porcini. I can imagine how good this dish would taste with them. Foraged mushrooms are a common ingredient in Italian mountain pasta recipes. However, dried porcini have a much stronger flavour that would swamp the other ingredients.

There are many versions of this recipe with other types of mushrooms. Since now is not the season for fresh porcini anyway, I used normal white champignons (button mushrooms). You can also use cremini (chestnut mushrooms or baby bella).

Making Tagliatelle alla Castellana.

This pasta recipe reminds me a little of a pork stroganoff. It’s got a rich creamy mushroom flavour that combines so well with the pork and pancetta. It’s also pretty easy to make and doesn’t take long. None of the sauce ingredients need long cooking. In fact, I actually put it all together in the time it took me to boil the water and cook the pasta. This is definitely a recipe that you will love once you try it!

Ingredients
  

  • 320 g tagliatelle (12oz) fresh or dried.
  • 150 g pork fillet (5oz) tenderloin. Cut into small cubes
  • 100 g pancetta (3.5oz) cut into small cubes
  • 150 g mushrooms (5oz) I used white button mushrooms. Cut into half slices
  • 1 garlic clove peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 small onion peeled and finely chopped
  • 60 g butter (2oz) unsalted
  • 200 ml heavy cream (1 cup)
  • 1 measure brandy
  • salt for pasta and to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper. to taste

Instructions
 

  • Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Cut the pancetta into small cubes or strips (if using a thick slice of pancetta), cut the pork fillet into small cubes or strips too. Clean and slice the mushrooms. Then cut the slices in half.
  • Put a pot of water onto to boil for the pasta. Add salt once it starts to boil and bring to the boil again.
  • In a heavy skillet or frying pan, put the butter, chopped onion and garlic clove.  Cook until the onion starts to soften slightly.
  • Now add the sliced champignon mushrooms and continue cooking until they are slightly browned. Add the pancetta and continue cooking until this also starts to brown.
  • Now add the pork fillet and continue cooking for just a few minutes. It’s important not to overcook the pork. It needs to still be a little pink.
  • Turn up the heat and add the brandy and after the alcohol has evaporated add the cream. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer to reduce for 3/4 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper as required. While the sauce is simmering cook the pasta al dente. Fresh tagliatelle only takes 4-5 minutes. Dried about 10 minutes.
  • Save a cup of the pasta cooking water and drain the pasta. Add the tagliatelle to the mushroom and pork fillet sauce and mix everything together well so that the pasta is coated with the creamy sauce. If your sauce seems dry, add a little of the pasta cooking water.
  • Serve immediately with grated cheese such as parmigiano or grana is required.

Notes

This recipe can be made with dried, fresh or homemade tagliatelle. You could also use pasta tubes such as penne.
The original recipe calls for fresh porcini mushrooms but normal white or brown champignon mushrooms work very well too! I wouldn’t recommend dried porcini.

    This really was delicious–thank you for the recipe. We used bourbon rather than brandy because that’s all we had, and half and half rather than cream for the same reason. You’re absolutely right that the cubes of pork don’t need a lot of time to cook–I cooked them very briefly and I think I could have done less. The flavor of the whole dish is intense considering how simple it is. Next time will probably cook the onions longer, and maybe do the mushrooms separately to get more color, but overall this was wonderful. Can’t wait to explore other recipes!

    This Is the best food we have ever eaten. We all became fat on it. We want to eat it everyday.

    PS I let the onions caremelize. The mushrooms too, just a little. I cooked the pancetta long enough to render nearly all the fat.
    It was a great big flavor bomb.

      Hi Henry, thanks for your comment. I think either prosciutto or bacon would work and add flavour. The best would be whichever is thicker. If you only have normal slices the bacon will produce more fat and can be cooked like guanciale/pancetta. But if the prosciutto is thin slices don’t cook for too long as it dries out. I’m happy you like my blog! Hope you are staying safe and well!

    I’m always amazed how knowledgeable you are about pasta and passionate too. Learn so much each time I visit. Italy is a small country compared with others on a global scale so to know that there are differences by the way people farm and make their pastas, is quite fascinating. As well as this dish too. So creamy, definitely love this!

    I made this dish tonight minus the brandy. I didn’t have any. Was one of the most flavorful pasta dishes I’ve made. The pancetta and mushroom s along with the onions lent so much flavor to the cream sauce. I think you could leave out the pork tenderloin and not miss it. Thank you so much for this recipe.

    It’s really interesting that the dishes can vary so much through each region of Italy. I do like tomato based sauces with pasta, but have to admit that a creamy and tasty dish is always delicious. Pork is a great choice too, and perfect with the combined ingredients. A great meal for the weekend.

    Pork & Pasta is such an underused combo! But this recipe really helps show why they’re perfect together. It was love at first bite!
