CREPES TAGLIATELLE
This tagliatelle recipe is different from the traditional tagliatelle pasta or dough. Furthermore, this recipe was adapted to be vegan, that why I didn’t use eggs or cow milk to make the crepes. So if you are looking to have a pasta dish but without the regular pasta you will love this tasty and filling recipe.

Instructions
CREPES
- Sieve the flour in a large mixing bowl and add the salt, then stir.
- Add the wet ingredients and mix well until you get a smooth consistency (if you get any lumps sieve all the mix or use a blender).
- Let the crepe batter rest in the fridge for 30 minutes for better results. The longer the better even you can prepare this in advance the day before (let the batter sit in the fridge overnight).
- Place a nonstick frying pan on the burner/ring. Lightly grease the pan and swirl the pan to spread the melted vegetable oil/butter. It is recommended to do this step each time you cook a new crepe.
- Pour a layer of the batter into the nonstick pan or skillet, swirling the batter to spread it evenly. Carefully flip the crepe when you see that it is cooked. You don't have to be a professional to do this, you can always use a spatula.
- Place the cooked vegan crepes on a plate.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you finish with the batter or you can prepare just a few and leave the crepe mix in the fridge for later.
- Once you have all your crepes, place them on a work surface and cut them in stripes of around 1cm.
TOMATO SAUCE
- Peel and diced the garlic cloves.
- Sauté the chopped garlic with olive oil.
- Clean and slice the mushrooms and add them to the garlic cloves and sauté for a couple of minutes (don't overcook the mushrooms).
- Pour the passata and sprinkle a pinch of sodium bicarbonate. Stir well.
- Season to taste with: paprika, oregano and salt.
BECHAMEL SAUCE
- Peel and dice the garlic clove. Cook in a pan at medium heat with 1 tbsp. of olive oil (for an oil-free option add water or vegetable broth).
- Then, pour 2 tbsp. of olive oil and 3 tbsp. of flour and mix well.
- Pour the plant-based milk and keep stirring until you get a creamy consistency.
- Season to taste with ground nutmeg and salt.
ASSEMBLE
- Place a portion of your crepe tagliatelle (you can recreate nests in each place).
- Pour the tomato and bechamel sauces and sprinkle on top some fresh parsley.
Notes
If you are making these vegan crepes in advance when they cool down at room temperature cover them with plastic wrap or kitchen cloth to prevent getting dry and keep them refrigerated until consumption.
