Truffle-Infused Egg Pasta (Printable Version)

Fresh egg pasta enhanced with truffle oil, butter, and Parmesan delivers rich, aromatic flavors in every bite.

# 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

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - On a clean work surface, mound the flour and make 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 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 1/16 inch 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 - Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan and a light drizzle of truffle oil if desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The intoxicating aroma of truffle that transforms an everyday pasta into a gourmet experience
  • Silky, tender homemade pasta that cooks in just minutes
  • A buttery, cheesy sauce that lets the truffle flavor shine
  • An impressive dish that's actually achievable at home
  • Perfect for special occasions or when you need a touch of luxury
02 -
  • Use high-quality truffle oil for the most authentic flavor - synthetic versions won't provide the same depth
  • Fresh pasta cooks much faster than dried, so watch it carefully to avoid overcooking
  • Reserve extra pasta water - it contains starch that helps the sauce cling to the pasta
  • Warm your serving bowls in the oven before plating to keep the pasta hot longer
  • Grate the Parmesan fresh just before serving for the best flavor and texture
