# Handmade Truffle Pasta

Italian recipe from Chef Jason McKinney, about an hour and a half, serves about 2.

The pasta dough should rest at least twenty minutes before rolling.

- Total time: about an hour and a half (estimated)
- Hands-on: about an hour
- Serves: about 2
- Level: Medium
- Cuisine: Italian
- Note: Includes a 30-minute dough rest

## Ingredients

- 1 ½ cups 00 flour
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 whole egg
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- truffle carpaccio, to taste
- 3 ounces unsalted butter
- 1 ounce Parmesan
- truffle salt or flaky sea salt, to taste
- Kosher salt, to taste

## Method

1. Fill a large pot with water, cover, and place on the stove on low heat. Set aside ½ cup flour for your “bench flour.”
2. Lay the remaining flour on your counter and make a well in the center. Add the egg yolks, whole egg, and olive oil. Whisk the eggs and oil together with a fork until combined. Using your index finger like a dough hook, mix the eggs and oil into the flour until shaggy.
3. Knead the dough until smooth, about 5–8 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rest. Chop half of the truffle carpaccio and set aside.
4. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it’s thin enough to read a piece of paper through it. Cut the dough into your desired pasta shape.
5. Lightly season the boiling water with kosher salt. Add the pasta to the pot and cook for 2 minutes.
6. Strain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta’s cooking water. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, stir together the pasta water, butter, and chopped truffle carpaccio. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until the sauce becomes creamy and the pasta is al dente.
7. Remove the pan from the heat and grate half of the Parmesan cheese into the sauce. Season with truffle salt or flaky sea salt and stir to combine. Plate the pasta with the sauce, grate the remaining Parmesan cheese on top, and garnish with slices of the truffle carpaccio. Finish with one last sprinkle of truffle salt or flaky sea salt and dig in!!
