Fettucine Alfredo with White Truffles

Pasta

Nothing is more romantic than homemade pasta. Go on your dream date with this luxurious recipe.

For the pasta

Ingredients (2 servings)
4 egg yolks, lightly beaten
100 g type '00' flour
12 ml milk

For the sauce

Ingredients (2 servings)
1 white truffle (preferably fresh and stored in a cool place)
120 ml thick cream or crème fraîche
20 g quality butter
50 g good Parmesan cheese, freshly grated)
1 pinch(es) freshly grated nutmeg
freshly ground black pepper
  • First prepare the pasta: mix the flour, egg yolks and milk in a large mixing bowl and knead until a firm, compact dough is formed, 10–15 minutes. (The dough will be very dry at first. Do not give up.)
  • Bring the dough together into a ball, cover with cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for an hour.
  • Using a pasta machine with the fettucine attachment, roll out on the pasta machine and cut into fettuccine.
  • Melt the butter in a large pan and pour in 100ml of the cream. Bring to the boil briefly until it has thickened a little.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for about 90 seconds.
  • Drain the pasta and add to the pan with the cream sauce. Toss well. Add the remaining cream, grated cheese, pepper and nutmeg and mix well.
  • Serve in deep plates and, at the table, slice the truffle thickly over the top using a truffle slicer.

Tip:

White truffles are seasonal and are available from specialist suppliers. Search online for an Italian specialist supplier near you.
