Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk 2 cups all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center, crack in 3 large eggs, and mix with a fork until a shaggy dough forms — do not overmix. Knead on a floured surface for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Step 2: Rest dough covered for 30 minutes. Roll out thinly using a pasta roller to setting 4, then cut into 1/4-inch wide strips. Let rest 10 minutes before cooking.
  3. Step 3: In a saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 1 minced shallot and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent but not browned. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and simmer gently for 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Step 4: Add 1/2 cup grated Parmesan and 2 tbsp white truffle oil to the sauce, whisking until melted and smooth. Cook 2 more minutes until sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Step 5: Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for 2 minutes (al dente). Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain pasta and toss immediately with sauce. Add splash of pasta water if needed to emulsify. Top with fresh parsley before serving.
