Grate truffles over pasta

Fresh spaghetti with finely sliced or grated truffles is a popular method for many people to enjoy this delicacy. Many chefs believe that this basic preparation procedure best showcases the truffle's virtues. "When using truffle in dishes, avoid overcooking it as it will drive off the flavor and scent", says executive Chef Kim Brennan of State Buildings in Perth, Western Australia.

Any pasta is acceptable, however long, strand-like kinds, such as tagliatelle or the eggless ciriole pasta from Umbria in central Italy, are popular. Depending on the variety and preference, truffles can be grated straight onto the pasta or into some heated butter, possibly with some grated cheese, garlic, or pepper. The main idea behind this recipe is to utilize the best ingredients available, keep it simple, and allow the flavors to shine.
