Print Recipe

An elegant yet simple pasta dish featuring fresh tagliatelle tossed in a silky butter and Parmesan sauce, topped with delicate shavings of black truffle for a luxurious flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces fresh tagliatelle pasta (225 grams)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (60 grams), softened
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (100 grams), finely grated
  • About 10 grams black truffle, thinly shaved (or high-quality black truffle oil, use sparingly)
  • Salt for pasta water and seasoning (sea salt or kosher salt preferred)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: small handful fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: drizzle extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil using about 4 quarts (3.8 liters) of water and 1 tablespoon of salt. The water should taste like the sea.
  2. Cook the fresh tagliatelle for 2-3 minutes or according to package instructions if dried, until just al dente. Taste to check tenderness.
  3. Reserve about ½ cup (120 ml) of pasta water before draining. Drain the pasta but do not rinse.
  4. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat until it turns pale golden and smells nutty, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss gently with tongs to coat every strand in butter. Slowly add 2-3 tablespoons of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce, tossing constantly until silky and clingy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Turn off the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Add more pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency. Season with freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste.
  7. Plate the pasta immediately by twirling nests of tagliatelle onto warm plates.
  8. Top each serving with thinly shaved black truffle. Optionally, drizzle a little truffle oil or extra virgin olive oil for extra fragrance.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh pasta when possible for best texture. Melt butter slowly over low heat to develop nutty flavor without burning. Reserve pasta water to help sauce cling to noodles. Shave truffles just before serving to preserve aroma. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture. For gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta and adjust cooking time. For dairy-free, substitute vegan butter and nutritional yeast.
