To make truffle pasta worthy of the name, you must respect several criteria. First of all, it is important to choose quality ingredients, namely premium pasta and carefully selected black truffle (Tuber Melanosporum).

Next, it is important to monitor the cooking of your pasta. In fact, overcooked pasta will be soaked in water, while undercooked pasta will still be raw. Cook them until they obtain an al-dente texture, 2 to 4 minutes of cooking.

Finally, you can accompany your delicious pasta with a knob of butter or a drizzle of olive oil to prevent it from sticking. In addition, these ingredients will enhance the unique taste of the black truffle .
