Method
Finely dice the onion, carrot, and celery. Mince the garlic. Roughly chop the mushrooms and finely chop the walnuts.
Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-based pan over medium heat.
Add the onion, carrot, and celery. Cook for 10 minutes until softened and golden.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms and walnuts. Cook for 10 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and dry.
Stir in the tomato purée and cook for 2 minutes.
Pour in the red wine and cook for 3 minutes until evaporated.
Add the tinned tomatoes, stock, rosemary, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and rich.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar. Remove the rosemary and bay leaf.
Cook the tagliatelle in heavily salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 100ml pasta water before draining.
Toss the pasta with the ragù, adding pasta water if needed. Serve with nutritional yeast.
