What You’ll Need:
- 200 grams of fresh pasta
- 1-2 fresh truffles
- 3 tablespoons of high-quality olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- A pinch of salt and pepper
Step 1: Prepare the Truffles
Using a truffle brush, gently clean the truffles to remove any dirt or debris. Take a truffle slicer or a sharp knife and thinly slice the truffles. Set them aside for later use.
Step 2: Infuse the Olive Oil
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the minced garlic and let it infuse into the oil for a few minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic brown. Once infused, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the oil to cool slightly.
Step 3: Combine the Truffles and Oil
Add the sliced truffles to the infused olive oil. Gently stir the mixture to ensure the truffle slices are evenly coated. Let this sit for at least 30 minutes, allowing the truffle aroma to infuse into the oil.
Step 4: Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh pasta and cook according to package instructions or until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a small amount of the cooking water.
Step 5: Toss the Pasta
In a large pan, heat a tablespoon of the truffle-infused oil over medium heat. Add the drained pasta to the pan and toss to coat it evenly. If the pasta seems dry, add a splash of the reserved cooking water to bring the dish together.
Step 6: Season and Serve
Season the truffle-flavored pasta with a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve it immediately, allowing the rich truffle aroma to enchant your senses.
