Meanwhile, cook tagliatelle in a large saucepan of boiling salted water following pack instructions. Drain, reserving ½ cup cooking liquid.

Is tagliatelle vegan?

How to boil tagliatelle pasta?
To boil tagliatelle pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the tagliatelle pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions or until the pasta is al dente, which typically takes around 8-10 minutes. Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent sticking. Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander and rinse it briefly with cold water to stop the cooking process.
