Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Spaghetti

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the spaghetti.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Brown Butter

    In a pan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 4-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the drained spaghetti to the pan with the brown butter. Toss well to coat the pasta. If the pasta seems dry, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

  4. 4

    Add Roasted Almonds

    Chop the roasted almonds coarsely and add them to the pasta. Toss to combine and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Finish with Fresh Truffle

    Using a truffle slicer or a sharp knife, shave the fresh truffle over the pasta just before serving. Serve immediately.
