Le Milan, it’s over… Where will we be able to taste their famous paccheri nusco? Here you go with the recipe of their Paccheri Nusco or truffle pasta.
Did you know that the Milan restaurant in Lausanne close to the Milan parc is gonna close soon? A tasty italian restaurant, neighborhood restaurant, the Milan this is all of that. And most of all, this is the favourite restaurant of Adrien’s grandparents. The restaurant where we were all celebrating. A petition signed by thousands of people among us is now on the district office to try to save the restaurant.
I have tried my best to reproduce this recipe, following the instruction of their chef, who gave us the secret of the recipe on a late evening when we were sharing this dish with some novice friends.
What’s hard to get is the mushrooms/truffle mix. I found it at the migros and recently at the coop next to tartare, barbecue sauce, etc… This a king of purée made of mushrooms and truffles. With the coop one, you have to add more, because it has less truffles in it.

Don’t know whether I can find mushroom/truffle mix. Never seen it here. If I can I’ll try this. However, another question is about ‘sausage meat’. I think Italian sausage meat would have only meat and seasonings. Not so sausage meat here in the uk.
PS. I hate having to fill in a form to post a comment, so I put an email address I never look at. I follow you from my blog anyway.
Hello! Nice to hear from you. How are you doing? You can use sausage meat you actually use to stuff a poultry. However in France you can buy some but here in switzerland that’s difficult to find so I directly buy the sausage and open them 🙂
