Pasta with truffles ! 

Hey guys,

as a child I spend many years with my family in the region of Piemonte, Italy. This region is well-known for truffles. Since then I'm addicted to Pasta with truffles.

Today I give you an easy and quick recipe how to make truffle pasta at home.

Its ready in 15 min. 

Truffles normally can be bought in delicatessen shops. Be careful and check before the truffle seasons, if someone is serving you truffle shavings in other months, these have most likely come from a freezer and wont give you that intense experience you've paid for.

Off-truffle season you can also make the pasta without the fresh truffles and use only the truffle salt for the taste. Truffle salt has tiny fragrant pieces of black or white truffle blended in. 

Make sure (if you have fresh truffle) you also buy a truffle slicer/shaver. 

Ingredients :

- 250g Tagliatelle, Fettucine or Linguine 

- 70g Parmesan cheese

- 50g Fresh black truffle  

- 2 - 3 Teaspoon of Italian white summer truffle salt 

- 1 Cup heavy cream 

Recipe Pasta with truffles:

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, until "al dente". Drain and set aside. 

2. Use a pan. Stir in heavy cream white summer truffle salt and black pepper. Add parmesan (depending on your taste) and stir everything togehter. Make sure to work with reduced heat and simmer until thickened, about 5-8 minutes normally. 

3. Before the pasta is ready make sure if you bought fresh truffles to shave the truffle. For this please only use a truffle shaver/slicer. 

3. Stir in cooked pasta. Garnish with fresh shaved truffles and grated parmesan cheese, if you like also add some more truffle salt. 

ENJOY, your creamy truffle pasta!
