Fuži with Truffles
PREPARATION TIME: 30–40 minutes
DIFFICULTY: Easy
Ingredients
- 400 g fresh Istrian fuži pasta (or tagliatelle if unavailable)
- 1–2 fresh black or white truffles (or ~30 g truffle shavings)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the fuži pasta until al dente.

While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a wide pan over low heat.

Add finely grated or thinly sliced truffle to the butter. Stir gently. (You can add garlic here if using.)
-
Pour in the heavy cream and stir until the sauce thickens slightly — don’t boil.

Drain the pasta and toss it into the pan with the sauce. Mix gently to coat evenly.
