Truffle Parmesan Spaghetti for 2 people
WHAT YOU NEED
- 200 g pasta spaghetti
- 40g black truffle
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 120g Parmesan
- 3 tsp butter
- 1/2 garlic clove
- 5g basil
- Salt & Pepper
PREPARATION
Salt the water and bring it to a boil. Grate half of the Parmesan cheese and half of the truffle into fine flakes and mix. Halve a garlic clove lengthwise. Now add the pasta to the boiling salted water.
PREPARATION
It's best to heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of olive oil and spread it around. Then, with the open end of half a garlic clove, rub the pan two or three times to flavor the oil. Then, remove the clove.
Add 2 tsp butter to the pan and melt. Deglaze with a ladleful of pasta water. Finely grate the truffle and add the grated Parmesan. Simmer gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the Parmesan has melted into the sauce. Deglaze with a little more pasta water if necessary.
If the timing is right, you can now use tongs to transfer the pasta from the water directly into the pan. Please don't drain it; we want the adhering water, salt, and starch from the pasta to go into the sauce. Then add another pinch of butter and 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix everything together. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the pasta and toss again.
That's it, it can be served.
FINNISH
Finally, when serving, thinly shave the remaining truffle over the pasta. If you like it nice and want to treat yourself, you can sprinkle a few more shavings of Parmesan cheese over the pasta and garnish with some basil.
