Ingredients (for 4 people):
- 400g of fresh tagliatelle (you can make them yourself or buy them)
- 1 fresh black truffle from Aragon (approximately 20-30 g)
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 60g of butter
- 100 ml of cooking cream
- 50g of grated Parmesan cheese
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions for the recipe for Tagliatelle with black truffle from Aragon:
- Preparing the black truffle: Before you begin cooking, carefully clean the fresh truffle with a soft brush under cold running water to remove any dirt. Gently pat it dry with a clean cloth. Set the truffle aside to grate or thinly slice just before adding it to the dish.
- Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fresh tagliatelle according to the manufacturer's instructions (or if you made it yourself, cook for about 3-4 minutes). Fresh pasta cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
- To prepare the sauce: While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to prevent the butter from burning. Then, add the finely chopped garlic and sauté gently until golden brown, but not burnt.
- Add the cream: Pour the heavy cream into the pan and stir gently until all the ingredients are combined and the sauce begins to thicken. Simmer for 2-3 minutes and adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix the pasta with the sauce: Drain the pasta and add it directly to the pan with the creamy butter and cream sauce. Stir gently so that the tagliatelle is well coated in the sauce.
- Grate the black truffle: Just before serving, grate or finely slice the fresh black truffle from Aragon over the pasta. It's important to do this at the moment to best preserve the truffle's aroma and flavor. Gently stir the pasta to distribute the grated truffle evenly throughout the dish.
- To serve: Serve the tagliatelle in shallow bowls, grate a little more black truffle over the top for garnish, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. If desired, you can add some chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color. Ready to enjoy!
Tips and tricks for working with fresh black truffle
Now that you know the recipe, here are some additional tips to get the most out of fresh black truffles from Aragon:
- Storing truffles correctly: To preserve their freshness and aroma, keep truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator, preferably wrapped in absorbent paper or alongside uncooked rice, which will help regulate humidity. Consuming them within 7-10 days ensures they retain all their properties.
- Pairs well with mild ingredients: Black truffle has an intense flavor and aroma that perfectly complements mild-flavored ingredients, such as pasta, eggs, or potatoes, which don't compete with its intensity. Tagliatelle is one of the best ways to let the truffle shine.
- Use the truffle at the end of cooking: To maximize its aroma, always grate or slice the black truffle just before serving the dish, avoiding exposing it to intense heat, as this can cause it to lose some of its aroma.
