Luxurious Tagliatelle with Black Truffles

Ingredients

Tagliatelle pasta

12 ounces

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Unsalted butter

4 tablespoons

Black truffles

2 ounces, thinly sliced

Parmesan cheese

1 cup, freshly grated

Extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
2. While the pasta is cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the thinly sliced black truffles and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the truffles to release their fragrant aroma.
3. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the tagliatelle.
4. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the melted butter and truffles. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the pasta is well-coated with the butter.
5. Sprinkle in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and toss again, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a creamy, luscious sauce.
6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the pasta hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese, extra slices of truffle if desired, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for an added layer of flavor.
