Silky egg tagliatelle dressed with butter, Parmigiano, and shaved black truffle from the Sammarinese hills.

Ingredients

  • 400g fresh egg tagliatelle (or 300g "00" flour + 3 eggs)
  • 60g butter
  • 80g Parmigiano-Reggiano, grated
  • 1 fresh black truffle (30-40g)
  • Salt
  • Pasta cooking water

Instructions

  1. 1 If making fresh pasta, combine flour and eggs, knead 10 minutes, rest 30 minutes, then roll thin and cut into tagliatelle.
  2. 2 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook tagliatelle until al dente, about 2 minutes for fresh.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, melt butter in a large sauté pan over low heat. Do not let it brown.
  4. 4 Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup cooking water. Toss pasta in the butter with splashes of pasta water.
  5. 5 Add grated Parmigiano, tossing until a creamy sauce coats every strand.
  6. 6 Shave truffle generously over each portion and serve immediately.
