Ingredients

• 80ml double cream  
• 220g fresh tagliatelle or any thin long pasta  
• 40g TRUBEL Black Truffle Paste
• 30g grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste  
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• Salt to cook the pasta  
• 1 cup of cooked pasta water

Method:

1. Put a large saucepan of water on to boil. 
2. Add 1 tsp salt to the boiling water and bring back to boil. 
3. Cook the pasta as per the instructions on the packet until they are 'al dente' (usually that’s 1 minute less than the pack suggests). Remove pasta and place in colander. 
4. Scoop and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. 
5. In a separate pot, bring the double cream to boil. Mix ½ cup of pasta water in and stir. If the sauce isn’t emulsifying enough or too sticky add more pasta water. 
6. Add the black truffle paste and mix. 
7. Use a pasta scoop to add the cooked pasta to the cream, truffle and water mix, sprinkle with some grated Parmesan and cook over a gentle heat for a minute whilst stirring the pasta to coat it with the sauce.
8. Divide the pasta among 2 warmed plates, sprinkle rest of Parmesan onto the pasta. 
9. Serve immediately. Buon appetito!
