Ingredients
400g fresh or dried egg tagliolin
salt
SAUCE
100g truffle butter (available in good delicatessens)
60g Parmesan, freshly grated
Method
-
Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente: for fresh pasta about 2–4 minutes; for dried pasta, follow the instructions on the packet. When ready, drain, reserving 6 tbsp of the pasta cooking water.
-
Put the butter in a pan and melt, then add the reserved pasta cooking water for moisture. Add the drained pasta and Parmesan and toss well to combine. Serve hot.
TO MAKE IT MORE SPECIAL
If you are lucky enough to have some, shave 50g fresh white truffle from Alba on to the pasta to make it extra special. The black Périgord truffle doesn’t have enough smell for this dish, but can be combined with the butter to give extra flavour.
