Ingredients

400g (about 14 oz) of fresh tagliatelle pasta
50g (about 1.8 oz) of black truffle, thinly shaved
1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil

Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for serving (optional)

Preparation

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the fresh tagliatelle pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
While the pasta is cooking, shave the black truffle into thin slices using a truffle slicer or a sharp knife.
In a large skillet, gently heat the extra virgin olive oil over low heat. Be careful not to overheat the oil.
Add the drained tagliatelle to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly with the fragrant olive oil.
Season the pasta with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If desired, add a ladle of the reserved pasta cooking water to create a silky sauce.
Arrange the tagliatelle on serving plates and generously scatter the shaved black truffle over the top.
Optionally, serve the Tagliatelle al Tartufo Nero e Olio Extravergine di Oliva with a sprinkle of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
Enjoy this exquisite and indulgent dish that captures the essence of Italian luxury and truffle craftsmanship.
