My Precious Truffle

The local law enforcement / truffle guide arrived with his dogs to take us truffle hunting. I was actually expecting a pig to sniff out my prize but the dogs were quite efficient and had found a truffle within only a minute or two of the hunt.
Carlos gifted ME with the treasured white truffle that was found that afternoon with strict instuctions to shave the truffle and serve it with ONLY taglitelle pasta, butter, and Parmesano Reggiano....finito! I prepared a dish of the pasta and shared it with the other guests at the agriturismo who had been on the hunt with us. We all enjoyed the musty simplicity of this decandent and sought after delicacy.
