Truffle Infused Egg Pasta (Printable View)

Fresh egg pasta enriched with truffle oil, butter, and Parmesan for a refined flavor experience.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Pasta Dough

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 3 large eggs
03 - 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
04 - 1 tablespoon truffle oil
05 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Sauce & Finish

06 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
07 - 2 teaspoons truffle oil for finishing
08 - 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
09 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste
10 - Sea salt to taste

# How To Make It:

01 - On a clean work surface, mound the flour and create a well in the center. Add eggs, olive oil, truffle oil, and salt to the well.
02 - Using a fork, gently beat the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour until a shaggy dough forms.
03 - Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
04 - Divide the dough into 2 portions. Roll each portion through a pasta machine or with a rolling pin until thin, approximately 1 to 2 millimeters thick. Cut into tagliatelle or fettuccine.
05 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water and drain pasta.
06 - In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add cooked pasta and a splash of reserved pasta water; toss to coat. Remove from heat.
07 - Drizzle with truffle oil, sprinkle with Parmesan, and toss gently. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
08 - Transfer to serving plates and top with extra Parmesan and a light drizzle of truffle oil if desired.

# Best Practices:

01 -
  • Rich and earthy aroma from high-quality truffle oil.
  • Silky, tender texture of fresh handmade egg pasta.
  • A simple yet elegant dish perfect for special occasions.
02 -
  • Do not skip the 20-minute resting period, as this allows the gluten to relax for easier rolling.
  • Always reserve a bit of pasta water to help emulsify the butter into a glossy sauce.
  • Fresh pasta cooks very quickly, so keep a close eye on the pot to maintain an al dente texture.
