Ingredients for two persons:
  • 220 g homemade tagliatelle
  • 25 g butter
  • 1 egg (yolk)
  • 25 g Parmesan
  • salt
  • 60 g of fresh white truffle
  • 1 cup of the water in which the pasta was cooked
  • olive oil
Preparation:

Separate the egg yolk from the egg white. Place the yolk in a bowl, add the Parmesan cheese and stir. Grate some of the truffle on the side of a plate. Place the homemade pasta in a pot of boiling salted water and leave to cook for about 4-5 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pan over a low heat. When the butter has melted slightly, add the grated truffle. Add salt, reduce the heat, add the egg yolks with the Parmesan cheese and a little of the water in which the pasta was cooked. Add the pasta and mix well. Add a little more water if necessary. Cook on a low heat for another minute. Finally, grate the rest of the fresh white truffle, drizzle with olive oil and serve on a plate. Enjoy!
