5 Ingredient Black Truffle Pasta
Description
This pasta recipe cooks pasta until al dente and combines it with butter infused with grated Black truffle. Parmesan cheese adds depth and umami, while salt and pepper balance flavors. The butter's heat helps extract aroma from the truffle without overpowering it.
The finished pasta is creamy from the butter and cheese, with the truffle's distinctive earthy and nutty notes complemented by fresh parsley's brightness. The cooking method involves careful mixing with reserved pasta water to achieve a silky texture that clings to each strand.
Serving immediately retains the fresh truffle scent and prevents the butter sauce from solidifying. This pasta is elegant enough for special occasions but uses few ingredients to highlight truffle flavor authentically.
Ingredients
- 8 oz pasta
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
- ½ tick butter salted
- 1 oz black truffle fresh
- parsley fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil, salt it generously (1 tbsp) and then cook the pasta until al dente. (Usually 1 minute less than the packet suggests)
- Meanwhile grate the parmesan and set to one side.
- Add the butter to a heavy based skillet and let it melt over a low heat.
- Once the butter has melted grate in about ¾ of the black truffle.
- Stir well and then remove from the heat.
- Reserve ½ cup of the pasta cooking water and then drain the pasta.
- Stir the pasta into the butter, along with ¼ cup of the reserved water. Stir gently over a low heat until everything is combined. Add more water if it starts to feel sticky.
- Add the parmesan and serve immediately with fresh parsley garnish and more black truffle.
