Preparation

Step 1

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil, then cook the tagliatelle according to the package instructions until al dente.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a pan, gently heat the heavy cream over low heat. Add the foie gras cut into small pieces and stir until it melts and is fully incorporated into the cream.

Step 3

Drain the tagliatelle and place them into the pan with the foie gras sauce. Carefully toss to coat the pasta evenly.

Step 4

Season with salt and pepper to taste, then add the grated Parmesan. Mix until the cheese is melted and well blended.

Step 5

Grate the black truffle finely over the tagliatelle just before serving for an added touch of luxury.

My Chef’s Tip

For an even creamier sauce, add a knob of butter when mixing the pasta with the sauce. This little extra will provide an unparalleled velvety texture.

Food and Wine Pairing

To enhance this exceptional dish, choose a dry white wine from Burgundy, such as a Meursault or a Chablis, which will bring freshness and minerality to balance the richness of the foie gras.
