Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the tagliatelle.
- 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.
- Sprinkle in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and toss again, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a creamy, luscious sauce.
- 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.
Tips
- For the best flavor, use high-quality black truffles and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- If you're unable to find fresh black truffles, consider using truffle oil as a substitute to enhance the flavor.
- Pair this dish with a light arugula salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
