Umbrian-inspired pasta dish with rustic umbricelli shapes for a fun and celebratory taste of Italy's purity.
Ingredients:
  • ½ x Royal pasta dough
  • Tipo 00 flour for dusting
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 3 fresh porcini mushrooms (200g in total)
  • 1 whole Umbrian truffle (15g)
  • 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 2 anchovy fillets in oil from sustainable sources
  • 20 g unsalted butter
  • 20 g Grana Padano cheese
Instructions:
  • Prepare the Royal pasta dough and let it rest for 30 minutes. Tear off 1cm balls of pasta dough and roll them out into thin 30cm sausage shapes on a clean surface, then place on a floured tray. The pasta may seem thin, but it will puff up while cooking. Boil whole garlic cloves in salted water for 2 minutes to make them creamy, then chop finely while keeping the water on heat. Quarter and slice the mushrooms, and finely slice the truffle. Heat olive oil in a pan, add garlic, thyme, most of the truffle, and porcini mushrooms. Cook the pasta in boiling water for 4½ minutes. Add anchovies to the mushroom pan, let them melt, then add pasta water to make a sauce. Remove from heat, stir in butter, add pasta, toss together, grate cheese, toss again, sprinkle truffle, season with salt and pepper, drizzle olive oil, and serve. Delicious!
