Ingredients

250g egg tagliatelle
4 tbsp Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
250g chestnut mushrooms, thickly sliced
3 level tbsp plain flour
400ml hot chicken stock
4 tbsp medium dry sherry or white wine
5 tbsp double cream

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add a 1 tsp salt then the tagliatelle, cook following packet instructions until just cooked. Drain.
Meanwhile, heat the Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large sauté pan, add the mushrooms and cook over a medium-high heat until just beginning to brown. Sprinkle over the flour and stir until all has been absorbed into the oil and juices, cook one minute. Gradually add the stock, stirring all the time and allow to come to simmer, cook gently for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Stir the cream and cheese into the sauce and season, then add the turkey and peas.
Spread half of the pasta in the base of a large ovenproof dish, spoon over the half of the turkey mixture. Repeat the layers then scatter over the breadcrumbs and cheese, drizzle with the Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil and then bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden and crisp.
