Lumachine alla Schegginese

Lumachine alla Schegginese is a traditional pasta dish hailing from the Umbrian town of Scheggino, hence the name. It's made with lumachine pasta, olive oil, onions, trout fillets, tomato purée, and thinly sliced black truffles. The onions are sautéed in olive oil, and the trout is cooked in the same pan with the tomato purée.

The truffles are added after the pan has been removed from the heat. The pasta is tossed with the sauce, and the dish is ready to be served. This dish is typically served at Christmas in Scheggino. It's recommended to serve the dish with trout as the second course.
