Taglioni with White Truffle Pasta Recipe

The taste of white truffles makes this dish very special. If you find yourself sequestered at home, like me, until we are welcomed back in Europe, there are several fine truffle olive oils here in the U.S. for your delectation. Just a few drops will bring back happy memories and tickle the senses. Buon appetito!

Truffle oil can be used to make this Taglioni with White Truffle Pasta Recipe. (C) margolispineo.

Ingredients:

12 oz. tagliolini, tagliatelle or spaghetti
3 TBS butter
¼ cup grated Parmegiano
1 white truffle, 2-3 oz. (1/4 cup +) grated
Salt for cooking pasta
Black pepper to taste

Method:

Bring a pan of salted water to a boil. A pasta and bring back to a to boil.
Cook the tagliolini until ‘al dente.’  Save 1/3 cup cooking water before draining.
Clean the truffle with a damp cloth, and grate half.
Melt the butter in a large sauté pan until it foams.
Add grated truffle to the butter and 1 or 2 TBS of the pasta cooking water.
Add the cooked pasta to the butter and sprinkle with grated Parmegiano.
Cook and stir on gentle flame to coat pasta with sauce.

Sprinkle a bit more Parmegiano onto the pasta, and shave the remaining truffle over the top of the dish.
