Photo: Tagliarelle with Truffle Butter Recipe
Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 ounces white truffle butter
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (8.82-ounce) package Cipriani tagliarelle dried pasta or other egg fettuccine
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 3 ounces Parmesan, shaved thin with a vegetable peeler
Directions
Add 1 tablespoon salt to a large pot of water and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) saute pan, heat the cream over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Add the truffle butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, lower the heat to very low, and swirl the butter until it melts. Keep warm over very low heat.
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, exactly. (If you're not using Cipriani pasta, follow the directions on the package.) When the pasta is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta. Add the drained pasta to the saute pan and toss it with the truffle-cream mixture. As the pasta absorbs the sauce, add as much of the reserved cooking water as necessary to keep the pasta very creamy.
Serve the pasta in shallow bowls and garnish each serving with a generous sprinkling of chives and shaved Parmesan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve at once.

I can't believe there are only 2 reviews here...there should be hundreds!! I have been making this since 2008 when the "Back to Basics" cookbook came out. By the way everything in the book is Yummy! If you have not experienced white truffle butter it is worth the effort to order it. If you live near a "The Fresh Market" they have both white and black truffle butter. They also have the Taglliarelle. When I make this for guests they are blown away...really, it is that good and oh so simple to make. Once you get your hands on the truffle butter you will want to make Ina's truffle mac'n cheese and her truffle turkey. My Mom said the turkey was the best she ever ate and it was!

Is absolutely sinful. It is my new all time favorite comfort food. Worth the effort to find the correct pasta (had to order mine. Have played with additional ingredients and is still a marvelous dish, but is at its very best when following the recipe.
