Tips from the kitchen

  • Never cook the truffle: it is only shaved onto the plate, so the aroma is preserved.
  • Prepare the sauce before service, cook the pasta a la minute.
  • For presentation, shave First Choice; finely grate Second Choice and add it to the sauce.
  • Store truffle refrigerated and use within a few days.
