#HomemadeTrufflePastaRecipe #food #recipe

We recently spent some time exploring Opatija,   Croatia, a lovely seaside town  in Croatia’s Istrian Peninsula. This part of Croatia is well known for its   truffles and we indulged in tons of  truffle dishes while we were there. In honor of this trip and the  wonderful truffles we had,  

We’re going to make some  homemade truffle pasta today. Welcome to Turks Who Eat. We’re Alex and  Mehmet, a couple who loves to travel and eat. We also bring our dog, Bindi, along with  us for as many adventures as possible.

We love traveling and eating local food  tends to be the highlight of our travels. We love to discover the local dishes  and learn how to make them ourselves. Follow along with us as we explore the world,   discover local foods, and  attempt to re-create them.

We actually made this dish  while we were visiting Opatija,   but we were cooking in our Airbnb  kitchen and ran into a few snags. While the end result was ok, we felt that  this dish deserved to be made properly,   so we’re back home now and going to recreate it.

Since truffles are such a special  ingredient we felt like they deserve   the best possible treatment, and what  could be better than fresh homemade pasta. Homemade pasta is a real treat and  truly one of my favorite things to make. We’ll pair our homemade pasta with a light  

Mushroom sauce and plenty  of sliced black truffles. It might sound intimidating to make  your own pasta, but let us show you how! Pasta dough only requires  a few simple ingredients. Flour, eggs, salt and a bit of olive oil. We’re using 00 flour for this pasta,  

But if all you have is regular all purpose  flour, that will work completely fine. To begin, place your flour in a bowl and  create a well in the middle of the flour. Then, add your eggs into the well. Add ½ a teaspoon of salt and ½  teaspoon of olive oil into the well.

I’m going to let my kitchen aid do the work today,   so I’m fitting it with the dough hook and  will let it combine and knead everything. If you don’t have a mixer like this,   you can of course do this by hand,  it just takes a lot more effort.

Kneading the dough can take  some time, so be patient. If after 5 minutes or so your dough  still really isn’t coming together,   then you can drizzle in another ½  teaspoon of olive oil to help it along. The dough is ready when all  of the flour is combined and  

You have a smooth ball that comes  away from the sides of the bowl. Once your dough is ready, set it  aside to rest for at least 30 minutes. Now, it’s time to roll out and cut your dough. Again, I’m going to use my kitchenaid mixer  here with the pasta roller attachment.

If you don’t have this, you can  definitely still make your own pasta,   it will just be a bit more of a workout  to roll out the dough and cut it by hand. Divide your dough into 4 pieces.

You’ll work with these one at a time, so take  one, and cover the others and set them aside. Begin by doing your best to shape the dough into a   small rectangle and put it through the  dough attachment at the widest setting.

When it comes through, fold it into  a rectangle and put it through again. Keep some flour nearby and dust  the dough if it is too sticky.  Repeat this a few times until you  have somewhat smooth and even shape. Then, adjust the attachment  to one setting thinner,  

And run the pasta through at least twice, until  it pretty easily slides through that setting. Repeat this on the next few settings  until you reach your desired thickness. If your pasta becomes sticky as you go,  dust it with a small amount of flour. I’m stopping at the level 5 setting today.

If you’re doing this by hand,   you’ll just use a rolling pin to roll the  dough out on to a lightly floured surface. Once your dough is rolled out, switch  the attachment to the pasta cutter. Place the sheet of dough through the pasta cutter,  and there you go, beautiful, homemade noodles!

If you are doing this by hand, use a knife to  cut the dough into noodles as evenly as possible. Set the cut pasta aside while you repeat  these steps with the rest of the dough. Once all your pasta is cut, bring a pot of  salted water to a boil and prepare the sauce.

For this sauce you’ll need some mushrooms,  butter, olive oil, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese,   a bit of parsley to top it with,  and of course your sliced truffles. I like to use pre sliced truffles because I think  the quality is generally better than the whole  

Truffles that I can find in my area, but of course  you can slice whole ones yourself if you prefer. Start by thinly slicing your mushrooms. I’m going to start by sautéing some mushrooms   in a bit of butter and olive oil  until their liquid has evaporated.

While this is happening, grate  about 1 cup of the cheese. At this point, my mushrooms are looking good,   so I’m turning down the heat and  dropping my pasta in the boiling water. Fresh pasta cooks very quickly,  let it boil for about 2 minutes,  

Then remove the pasta from the  water and add it to the mushrooms. Reserve about ¼ cup of the pasta cooking water and   add it to the pan with the mushrooms  and the pasta and toss to combine. This should help you get a nice silky sauce.

Then, add about ½ cup of grated parmesan cheese   and toss it all until it all combines  into a smooth but not too heavy sauce. Now it’s time for the best part, the truffles! I’m adding in a few spoonfuls  and tossing it all together.

Serve your pasta with a bit more freshly  grated cheese and some fresh parsley. The homemade pasta is just so good. It’s  rich in taste and springy in texture. The truffles and mushrooms  bring a ton of earthy flavor. This dish is indulgent and  totally worth the effort.
