Truffle Tagliatelle
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb (225 g) tagliatelle (or fresh pasta of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) truffle paste (see note)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) mascarpone cheese
- Thin slices of fresh black truffle (optional)

Instructions
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until slightly tender. Keep about 125 ml (½ cup) of cooking water aside. Drain the pasta and oil lightly. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the truffle paste in the butter for about 1 minute. Add 60 ml (¼ cup) of the reserved cooking water, the Parmesan, and mascarpone cheese. Stir to combine. Cook gently until the cheese has melted.
- Add the pasta and coat thoroughly with the sauce. Add cooking water, as needed. Generously season with salt and pepper. Divide among four plates. Garnish with slices of fresh truffles.
