Fettuccine With White Truffles Recipes

Steps:

• Add 1 tablespoon of salt to a large pot of water and bring it to a boil.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter and olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, tossing often, until the mushrooms are cooked and the liquid has evaporated.
• Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and rinse out the pan.
• Pour the cream into the saute pan and heat it over medium heat until it simmers. 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.
• Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander and add it to the truffle cream. Add the chives and mushrooms and toss well with tongs. Stir in the Parmesan. Serve hot in shallow bowls, garnished with extra chives and Parmesan.

Steps:

• For the fresh pasta: Combine the flour, eggs and yolk in a food processor and pulse until a dough comes together. Transfer to a counter dusted lightly with flour and knead gently until the dough comes together and is smooth, about 1 minute. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
• Divide the dough into 4 pieces. With your hands, flatten and shape one piece of dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Dust it lightly with flour and pass it through the widest setting on a pasta machine. (If the dough comes out oddly shaped, re-form into a rectangle.) Fold it into thirds, like a letter, and if necessary, flatten it to a 1/2-inch thickness. Pass it through the widest setting again with the seam of the letter perpendicular to the rollers. Repeat this folding and rolling step 10 to 12 times, dusting the dough with flour if it becomes sticky.
• Without folding the dough, pass it through the next setting on the pasta machine. Continue to pass the dough through the machine, reducing the space between the rollers after each pass and lightly dusting the pasta with flour on both sides each time, until the pasta is about 1/16-inch thick and 3 inches wide.
• Lay the rolled-out dough on a floured counter. Roll out the remaining dough in the same manner. Cut each piece of dough into 11-inch lengths. Cut the dough into fettuccine by hand, or by passing through the pasta machine on the fettucine setting.
• For the black truffle sauce: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and boil until al dente, about 3 minutes. Strain, reserving 2 cups of pasta water.
• Add the butter to a large pan over medium heat and let melt. Add half the Parmesan and 1/2 cup pasta water and stir to combine. Add the pasta and toss to coat. Add the remaining Parmesan and stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add more pasta water. Divide pasta among 4 bowls. Top with shaved truffle and more Parmesan. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bring the water and salt to a rolling boil and cook the pasta until al dente (firm and resilient to the bite).
• Drain the fettuccine and return to the saucepan you have cooked it in with the butter. Add salt and pepper. Turn onto individual heated plates and serve. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Grate the truffles on top.

Steps:

• Bring salted water to a rolling boil and cook the fettuccine until al dente. Drain.
• Meanwhile, put the butter and cream into a saucepan and heat through. Add the pasta and toss. Season with salt, pepper and cheese.
• Place the pasta on heated individual plates and grate some truffle on each serving. Pass more Parmesan cheese separately.

Steps:

• If using imported fettuccine, cook it according to the directions on the package. If using homemade fettuccine, add it to a pot of boiling water, return the water to a boil and cook the fettuccine about 1 minute, until just tender.
• Meanwhile, bring the cream to a boil in a large saucepan and then immediately transfer it to a stainless-steel bowl large enough to hold the cooked fettuccine. Stir in the salt, pepper and chives.
• When the fettuccine is cooked to the desired tenderness, remove approximately 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid from the pot and add it to the cream. Drain the fettuccine in a colander, shaking it well to remove all excess water.
• Add the drained fettuccine to the hot cream mixture and toss it well for about 30 seconds, until all the strands are coated. Most of the liquid will be absorbed by the fettuccine.
• Divide the fettuccine among 6 plates and pour over it any juices remaining in the bowl. Using a vegetable peeler or truffle slicer, shave the truffle directly on top of the pasta and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water. Drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan big enough to hold the cooked pasta easily, melt the butter.
• Stir in the cheese and cream. Add the cooked pasta, toss well and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Put into a serving dish and grate the truffle over the pasta or serve the truffle at the table allowing each guest to help himself. Serve additional cheese in a small bowl.
