Ingredients
- 320 g fresh tagliolini pasta (11oz) or tagliatelle or pappardelle
- 1-2 black truffles (40g/1.5oz) brushed clean
- 1-2 garlic cloves peeled
- 4 anchovy fillets (preserved in olive oil)
- 250 g mascarpone (9oz)
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil.
- salt for pasta and to taste
- freshly ground black pepper. to taste
Instructions
- Peel the garlic and brush clean the truffle/s
- Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick pan. Sauté the garlic cloves until they start to brown slightly. Add the anchovies cut into small pieces. Once the anchovies have melted, remove the garlic and add the mascarpone. Stir over a low heat until it becomes more liquid. Add salt and pepper to taste and some small pieces of truffle. Cook for another minute or so then your sauce is ready!
- While you are cooking the mascarpone sauce, put a pot of water on to boil for the pasta. Add salt once it starts to boil and bring to the boil again. Cook the pasta al dente. Fresh pasta cooks pretty fast (5 mins). Save a cup of the pasta cooking water and drain the pasta. Add the pasta to the mascarpone sauce. If your sauce seems dry add some pasta cooking water. Mix together well and plate.
- Shave some truffle slices onto eachplate. Serve immediately!
Notes
- Most Italian recipes for pasta with truffles and mascarpone call for egg pasta ribbons such as tagliatelle, pappardelle or tagliolini. You can use fresh or dried pasta.
