Truffle tagliatelle

Ingredients for 4 people
- 400 g fresh egg tagliatelle
- 125 g butter
- Black truffle to taste, or white truffle when available
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Method
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the tagliatelle al dente.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter gently in a non-stick frying pan.
- Add some thin truffle shavings, stir and turn off the heat.
- Transfer the drained pasta to the pan, adding a ladle of pasta cooking water to bring the sauce together.
- Plate up with more truffle shavings, freshly ground pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil if you like.
Notes and tips
If using white truffle, avoid direct cooking and add it at the end.
Fresh egg pasta brings out the truffle particularly well.
