Subtle sweet, earthy forest floor, umami truffle with olive oil, rock salt and tagliatelle pasta; Tagliatelle with Truffle.
Titillate your tastebuds with something delicate. And, pamper.
This dish will eradicate your belief that vegan food can’t be luxuriously simple and aromatic.
Make this:
- When you’re looking for a heavenly dish for date night – spice up the romance and get into something slinky
- When you’re home alone and looking to dish up a restaurant-worth homemade meal
- When you’ve got your work colleagues over and need a simple dish to impress; they will lap up that you have truffle on offer
Tagliatelle with Truffle was inspired when I had friends over from Nottingham. I had recently foraged some black truffle and this was the perfect alternative to a steak.
Truffle has a nutty subtle flavour. Make sure that you buy the best extra virgin money can buy and fresh tagliatelle lifts this dish and makes a delightful starter for a lavish dinner.
Tagliatelle with Truffle is vegan.

2. Cut the truffle in half and thinly slice the truffle.
3. Boil the water in a saucepan. Add a teaspoon of rock salt. Place the tagliatelle in the water and time to cook for three minutes. Switch off and remove from the heat and strain. Return the pasta to the saucepan.
4. Top Tip – you do not want to overcook the pasta and the pasta will still be cooking in the heated saucepan.
5. Add the olive oil and salt and combine well. Lastly, add the truffle.
