Tagliatelle with black truffle sauce

Difficulty: Easy

Prep time:  5 mins

Cooking time: 5 mins

Serving: 2 people

Ingredients:

• 170 g tagliatelle
• 2 tbsp CASALONTANA EVOO
• 40 g butter
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1 black truffle (or BLACK TRUFFLE EVOO)
• 3 tbsp beef (or vegetable) stock or water
• 20 g freshly grated parmesan cheese

Method:

Cook the tagliatelle in salted boiling water. Cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Crush the garlic cloves to release the flavour. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the olive oil, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, and the crushed garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds. Add about 1 tablespoon of freshly grated black truffle (about half of the truffle) or 2 tablespoons of black truffle EVOO (it works perfectly too) and cook for another 30 seconds. Pour the stock (or water) into the skillet and stir well to combine. Remove the garlic cloves. Drain your tagliatelle (reserve about 50 ml of the cooking water). Add the tagliatelle to the sauce and toss to combine. Remove from the heat and grate the parmesan over the pasta. If necessary add the reserved pasta water to get a nice silky sauce. Grate the remaining fresh truffle over the pasta, then serve.
