Truffle And Vegetable Pasta Recipes

TRUFFLE PASTA

Steps:

• For the fresh pasta: Combine the flour, eggs and yolk in a food processor and pulse until a dough comes together. Transfer to a counter dusted lightly with flour and knead gently until the dough comes together and is smooth, about 1 minute. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
• Divide the dough into 4 pieces. With your hands, flatten and shape one piece of dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Dust it lightly with flour and pass it through the widest setting on a pasta machine. (If the dough comes out oddly shaped, re-form into a rectangle.) Fold it into thirds, like a letter, and if necessary, flatten it to a 1/2-inch thickness. Pass it through the widest setting again with the seam of the letter perpendicular to the rollers. Repeat this folding and rolling step 10 to 12 times, dusting the dough with flour if it becomes sticky.
• Without folding the dough, pass it through the next setting on the pasta machine. Continue to pass the dough through the machine, reducing the space between the rollers after each pass and lightly dusting the pasta with flour on both sides each time, until the pasta is about 1/16-inch thick and 3 inches wide.
• Lay the rolled-out dough on a floured counter. Roll out the remaining dough in the same manner. Cut each piece of dough into 11-inch lengths. Cut the dough into fettuccine by hand, or by passing through the pasta machine on the fettucine setting.
• For the black truffle sauce: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and boil until al dente, about 3 minutes. Strain, reserving 2 cups of pasta water.
• Add the butter to a large pan over medium heat and let melt. Add half the Parmesan and 1/2 cup pasta water and stir to combine. Add the pasta and toss to coat. Add the remaining Parmesan and stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add more pasta water. Divide pasta among 4 bowls. Top with shaved truffle and more Parmesan. Enjoy!

BLACK TRUFFLE PORK AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Pat pork shoulder with kitchen towels or paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season all sides evenly with truffle salt and white pepper.
• Heat olive oil and truffle oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork shoulder to the hot oil and brown thoroughly on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer meat to a plate.
• Lower heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons truffle butter in the Dutch oven. Add potatoes and season with truffle salt and white pepper. Saute until potatoes are golden brown but not cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl.
• Add onions, parsnips, and celery to the pot; cook until softened, adding more olive oil to prevent burning if necessary, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a medium bowl.
• Return heat to medium-high and pour in wine; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add pork back to the pot and surround it with browned potatoes. Add vegetable broth until liquid covers the potatoes.
• Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Flip the pork and bake an additional 45 minutes. Transfer 2 to 3 cups cooking juices to a bowl and set aside for sauce. Baste the pork in the pot with the remaining cooking juices. Add onion-mushroom mixture, cover, and bake until vegetables are tender and pork is done, 15 to 20 minutes longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, melt remaining 2 tablespoons truffle butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk the reserved cooking juices into the flour mixture, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until the mixture is thick and smooth, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Serve pork with vegetables, potatoes, and sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

TRUFFLE AND VEGETABLE PASTA

Steps:

• 1.Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Place dried porcini in a small bowl and submerge in 1 cup boiling water. Cover and let soak 10 minutes. 2. Make truffle butter: Pour porcini water through a fine-mesh strainer into a small saucepan and press on mushrooms to release liquid. Simmer liquid over medium heat until it reduces to 1/3 cup, about 3 minutes. 3. Turn off heat and, whisking constantly, incorporate butter one piece at a time into broth. The mixture should lighten and increase in volume. Take the saucepan off the burner and check to make sure sauce is just warm to the touch. Stir in truffles.

In a food processor, blend truffle butter until creamy, about 10 seconds. 5. In the pot of boiling water, blanch broccoli rabe until bright green and al dente, about 30 seconds. Remove and repeat with Brussels sprouts. 6. Bring water back up to a rolling boil and add pasta. Cook until al dente, about 3 minutes, then drain. 7. While pasta cooks, set a large sauté pan set over medium heat. Swirl in oil and add shallot. Once shallot is soft and translucent, add truffle butter. Once mixture starts to bubble, add cooked pasta and vegetables. Sauté for 30 seconds, tossing to coat with sauce. Add chives and Parmesan and toss for another 30 seconds. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. 8. Distribute pasta among four bowls. Spoon extra sauce over each and garnish with truffle shavings, if you like.
