Preparation Seep the dried mushrooms in a glass of warm water. Prepare the tagliatelle by kneading the two flours together with the eggs and a pinch of salt. Knead until you have a smooth dough and let it rest for an hour in a cool place wrapped in a kitchen cloth so that it doesn’t dry out.

Then prepare the seasoning: clean and slice the pears not too finely otherwise they will break while cooking. Brown the clove of garlic with the rosemary in a little oil. Squeeze the mushrooms lightly (but do not throw away the water) and add. Let them cook for 5 minutes before adding the pears to be cooked for a further 10 minutes.

Now roll out the dough until it is 2 mm high and make the tagliatelle (just as usual or using the pasta machine. Cook the tagliatelle al dente, drain them and toss them in a pan with the other ingredients adding two tablespoons of the mushroom liquid and a couple of tablespoons of the water you have boiled the pasta in. Add the walnut kernels. Sprinkle with grated Pecorino cheese. Serve hot.
