What to get ready

  • Photograph of Tagliolini pasta Tagliolini pasta 14.1 oz
  • Photograph of Black truffle Black truffle 1.1 oz
  • Photograph of Unsalted butter Unsalted butter 5.6 oz
  • Photograph of Parmigiano cheese Parmigiano cheese 4.9 oz

Method

  1. 1 Clean truffles thoroughly with a dry brush; never wash them with water.
  2. 2 Tagliolini pasta cooks very quickly because the strands are thin, retaining the cooking water.
  3. 3 Melt the butter over very low heat, being careful not to overheat it as this will kill the truffle flavor.
  4. 4 Pour the pasta into the pan with butter, drizzle with the cooking water, and sprinkle with cheese to thicken the sauce.
  5. 5 Grate the truffle very thinly and place it on the table so that the aroma rises while it's still hot.

With an appliance

  • Microwave 25 min

    Replace step 3: Melt the butter in a wide bowl at 300 W for 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent the butter from overheating; keep step 4 the same and only grate the truffle in step 5 just before serving.
