Fettuccine with Black Truffles
Black truffles are neither as aromatic nor as expensive as white truffles, yet their earthy flavor is still highly prized. They are best served in simple preparations such as this one, where their strong, woodsy aroma can be appreciated. Use truffles as soon as possible after purchasing them, brushing them clean with a soft, dry brush.
