Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil.
  2. Add the angel hair pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, usually about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta well.
  4. Return the hot pasta to the pot or transfer to a large warm serving bowl.
  5. Immediately toss the pasta with the extra virgin olive oil, half of the julienned basil, and the freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to help the cheese emulsify and coat the noodles evenly.
  7. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Divide the pasta evenly among six heated serving plates, mounding it in the center.
  9. Using a truffle shaver or vegetable peeler, shave the fresh white truffles generously over each serving.
  10. Garnish with the remaining fresh basil and serve immediately.
