If you’re a pasta lover and you live in the Mother City, you will have heard of, tasted or seen the signature pasta at The Cousins Trattoria in Barrack Street. This glorious dish is made up of freshly made taglioni pasta and a simple mushroom-and-cream sauce, and is theatrically finished off in a giant wheel of parmigiano reggiano – of course. For your viewing pleasure, we asked The Cousins team to share their recipe for the show-stopping dish.

Buon appetito!
