Just bought a tub and I'm nervous!

The plan was to create tagliatelle with spinach, chestnut mushrooms and mascarpone...but I've never used it before and don't have a recipe, so don't know what to expect What's normal for it? If I mess it up, how will I know?

Help!

Well............if it were me I would make all the other stuff, put it in a bowl and mix in the mascarpone just before serving

I definitely wouldn't be trying to cook it............

Just stir it in at the end, just give it long enough to warm through the pasta.

Tommy's right, just stir it in at the end. i usually mix it with Tomato pesto to give it flavour but its lovely on its own.
Mascarpone can be used on or in cakes too, mixed with icing sugar it makes a lovely frosting & is usually what you find on top of carrot cake.

Mix a tub of marscapone with a tin of chopped tomatoes and add to a pan of fried onions and garlic. When its nicely heated pour over some fresh gnocchi in an oven proof dish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and grated cheese then tear strips of parma all over the top and sprinkle with olives (black or green are fine) and bung in the oven for 20-30 mins. Nice tasty dish and hard to make a mess of

Don't worry about cooking with mascarpone. As it has a very high fat content it will not split.
