Yield 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Cook pasta until very al dente, 6 to 7 minutes in a large pot with ample boiling water and salt. Add peas and finish cooking, about 1 minute. Drain well and toss in butter and truffle vinaigrette (made by combining 1/2-ounce chopped black truffle, 1 1/2 ounces black truffle oil, 1/2-ounce champagne vinegar, and 1 small minced shallot) and chives. Check seasoning and serve immediately.
TAGLIARELLE WITH TRUFFLE BUTTER
Steps:
- 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.

SPAGHETTI WITH TRUFFLE OIL, GARLIC AND ROSEMARY
This looked SO good when I saw it at epicurean.com that I knew it had to be MINE, all MINE! (Well, I needed easier access to it, anyway.) I've been on a truffle oil kick lately since I discovered how remarkably delicious it is. Who knew? (Well, lots of people, but I guess they simply forgot to tell me.) ;) Servings adjusted according to course and times are estimated.

- Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it, or it will become tough and rubbery.
- Add the truffle oil at the end of cooking. Truffle oil has a delicate flavor that can be easily overpowered by other ingredients, so it's best to add it at the end of cooking.
- Serve the pasta immediately. Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still hot and flavorful.
