Tajarin al tartufo bianco d'Alba
(Taglierini al tartufo bianco, Tagliolino al tartufo bianco, Tagliolini al tartufo bianco d'Alba, Tajarin with White Truffles)
Tajarin al tartufo bianco is a pasta dish flavored with the regional star - tartufo bianco d'Alba. This simple dish consists of handmade tajarin (also spelled as taglierini and tagliolini) pasta flavored with butter, pepper, and freshly grated white truffles.
Although truffles bring more than enough flavor, a sprinkle of Parmigiano is often used to finish this delicacy, which becomes even more decadent if paired with a glass of dry red wine.
