1
Clean the Truffle
Using a soft brush or cloth, gently clean the black truffle to remove any dirt. Avoid using water as it can affect the truffle's flavor.
2
Slice the Truffle
Using a truffle slicer or a very sharp knife, thinly slice the black truffle. Set aside for later use.
3
Prepare Truffle Oil
In a small bowl, combine the sliced black truffle with olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Allow this mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.

4
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
5
Prepare the Sauce
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
6
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
7
Finish with Truffle
Drizzle the truffle oil mixture over the pasta and gently toss to combine. Add the sliced black truffle and grated Parmesan cheese, tossing gently to incorporate.
8
Serve
Plate the pasta, garnishing with extra Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper if desired. Enjoy your gourmet dish with black truffle!
