If you happen to have access to a fresh black truffle, this simple black truffle pasta is a perfect way to showcase an exceptional ingredient. This is a perfect recipe for a fancy dinner at home.

Black Truffle Pasta

black truffle

oz European-style butter

lb fresh fettucine pasta (see notes)

heavy cream

pecorino cheese (grated)

salt & white pepper (to taste)

Heat water.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt it heavily.

Prep truffle.

Shave 1/4 ounce of truffle into paper thin slices. A mandolin works well here if you don&#039;t have a truffle shaver.

Brown butter.

Heat a medium high-sided skillet over medium high heat. Add the butter to the pan and allow to melt and then toast until just golden brown. Remove from heat to stop the browning.

Steep truffle in butter.

Use a microplane grater to grate the rest of your truffle (another 1/4 ounce) into the browned butter. Then put the pan back on very low heat. Once you see light bubbles pull from the heat again. Let the truffle steep in the butter.

Cook pasta.

Cook the fresh pasta in the boiling water for 90 second to 2 minutes, until al dente (soft but with a tiny bit of chew.)

Finish pasta.

Put your butter skillet back on very low heat. Add the pasta straight from the pot bringing along a some of the pasta water. Stir the pasta into the butter in a swirling motion. Slowly add the cream while swirling the pasta. And then add the cheese. Once the pasta sauce is smooth and emulsified. Remove from the heat.Taste. Add salt and white pepper as needed. Sprinkle each dish with shaved truffle slices.

Flank Steak with Potatoes & Green Beans

oz Flank steak

Shallot

Green beans (fresh)

Dab Butter (unsalted)

lb Baby potatoes

Wash the baby potatoes. Add them to a pot of salted boiling water. Cook for 10 min, or until fork-tender. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon. Keep the pot over heat.

Wash & trim the green beans. Add the green beans to the same pot of water. Cook for 2-3 min.

Melt a dab of butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the shallots. Cook, stirring for 2 min.

Add another dab of butter & the steak to the pan. Cook the steak for 3 min on each side, basting it with the shallot butter.

When the steak is cooked to your liking, remove it from the pan. Add a splash of water to the pan to deglaze it & stir. 

Serve the steak alongside the green beans & potatoes. Season with salt & pepper. Pour the shallot-butter sauce over all! Enjoy!
