Cracked Black Pepper
Truffle Salt
1.5oz Whole Black Truffles
Directions
Fill a pot with water and salt. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add pasta and stir occasionally to avoid pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Reserve all the pasta water.In a medium sauté pan over medium-low heat melt butter. Add truffle oil and black pepper. Toast until fragrant, but do not brown butter. Sprinkle a little salt into the sauté pan and swirl it around. Add cooked pasta and mix together. Turn off heat and add the cheese and 1 cup of pasta water, toss to coat. Add additional pasta water until you find your desired consistency. The sauce should cling to the pasta and be creamy but not watery.
Plate and shave truffle on top of pasta.
