Fu\u017ei Pasta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All Purpose Flour \u2013 200 grams
Free Range Eggs \u2013 2 whole eggs
Free Range Eggs Yolks \u2013 3 yolks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Truffle Sauce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whole White Truffles in Oil by Zigante Tartufi \u2013 2 small truffles
White Truffles Minced by Zigante Tartufi \u2013 2 tablespoons
Cr\u00e8me Fra\u00eeche \u2013 150 ml
Unsalted Butter \u2013 30 grams
Freshly Ground Black Pepper \u2013 1\/2 teaspoon
Parmesan Cheese \u2013 30 grams<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a large bowl, mix flour, eggs and egg yolks, and knead the dough well for 10-15 minutes.  Shape the dough into an oval shape, cover with cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 3 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cut the dough into 3 equal pieces and roll out each piece into 1-millimeter thin layers.  Cut long strips (4 cm wide), then cut 4cm squares, and then roll the squares around the thicker portion of a chopstick.  Shape the pasta into quill-shaped hollow tubes as shown in the picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the fresh fu\u017ei pasta al dente.  Note: Fresh pasta cooks quickly, hence make sure not to overcook.  As the pasta is cooking, prepare the truffle sauce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the frying pan, melt the butter, then add the cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche, minced white truffles, freshly grated parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.  Add 1 tablespoon of the truffle oil and cook the sauce on a medium heat for a short time until it is well incorporated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Drain the pasta and add to the frying pan.  Gently mix the pasta with the truffle sauce and serve in large pasta bowls.  Place the thinly sliced white truffles on the pasta and enjoy this delectable Istrian specialty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
