Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Tajarin

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tajarin pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet over low heat, add the cultured butter and allow it to melt gently, being careful not to brown it.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Once the pasta is cooked, reserve a cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Add the hot tajarin directly to the skillet with the melted butter. Toss to coat the pasta in the butter, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a silky sauce.

  4. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Grate the white Alba truffle over the pasta, add the grated parmesan, and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the tajarin, finishing with additional grated truffle and parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.
