Today’s recipe, “Tagliatelle with Serrano, mushrooms & gremolata, is a very quick, yet a tasteful dish. If you want a special lunch or dinner, then this recipe is what you are looking for. It consists of pasta, Jamón Serrano, mushrooms and gremolata. Gremolata is usually used to garnish various dishes and is made of chopped parsley, grated lemon zest, garlic and sometimes anchovies. Anchovies are very rich in salt, so in combination with Serrano, this dish can taste a little bit salty. Therefore for this gremolata you can skip the anchovies. Parsley is a source of flavonoid and antioxidants, especially luteolin, apigenin, folic acid, vitamin K, vitamin C, and vitamin A.
