Black Truffle Pasta
This Black Truffle Pasta is a luxurious dish that transforms simple ingredients into an exquisite meal!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
For the Pasta:
- 8 oz pasta (your choice, such as fettuccine or spaghetti)
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 sticks salted butter
- 1 oz fresh black truffle, finely shaved or grated
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Method: Black Truffle Pasta
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 8 oz of pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta in a colander.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the 2 sticks of salted butter. Allow it to bubble gently, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
- Once the butter is melted, add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss the pasta in the buttery sauce, ensuring every strand is coated.
- Gradually sprinkle in the ½ cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts and combines with the butter. Add the shaved or grated black truffle, mixing well. If the sauce feels too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve your Black Truffle Pasta immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.

- Skillet for preparing the sauce
- Grater or truffle slicer for the black truffle
- Serving Bowl or Plates

Notes
- Use high-quality black truffles for the best flavor—fresh is always the way to go!
- Don’t overcook the pasta; it should be al dente to ensure it holds up in the sauce.
- Save some pasta water; it’s a great way to adjust the sauce's consistency without adding more fat.
