Ingredients

• 200 g pasta
• 2 tbsp black truffle sauce
• 2 tbsp heavy cream
• 30 g caviar
• 1 onion
• 2 stalks green onion
• 1 lemon
• to taste sea salt
• to taste black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt for boiling water

Instructions

1. 1Salt the Boiling Water

   

   Begin by adding salt into a large pot of boiling water to establish a solid base flavor for the pasta noodles.

   Tip: Adding salt to the water ensures the pasta absorbs seasoning from the inside out while cooking.
2. 2Add Olive Oil to Water

   

   Pour olive oil into the pot of boiling water alongside the salt to prevent the noodles from sticking together.

   Tip: A splash of olive oil helps keep the pasta separated as it boils.
3. 3Boil the Pasta Nests

   

   Drop the pasta nests into the boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes, adjusting the time according to personal taste preference.

   Tip: Cook until the noodles reach your preferred texture, keeping them slightly firm for a good Q-friendly bite.
4. 4Drain and Plate the Pasta

   

   Once boiled to your preference, transfer the cooked pasta noodles onto a gray plate to rest before mixing with the sauce.

   Tip: Keep a small amount of the pasta water aside for later use to help the sauce bind.
5. 5Chop the Onions

   

   Place an onion on a wooden cutting board and chop it finely using a sharp kitchen knife to prepare the aromatics.

   Tip: Finely chopping the onion ensures it integrates smoothly into the creamy sauce base.
6. 6Sauté the Onions

   

   Start a pan with olive oil over heat, then add the chopped onions and sauté until fragrant to build the flavor foundation.

   Tip: Sauté on medium-low heat so the onions release their sweetness without burning.
7. 7Add Boiled Pasta to the Pan

   

   Transfer the boiled pasta directly into the pan containing the sautéed onions. Toss the pasta gently with the onions to combine the flavors and prepare for sauce absorption.

   Tip: Ensure the heat is set appropriately so the onions continue to release flavor without burning before the sauce ingredients are introduced.
8. 8Pour in Pasta Water

   

   Add a spoonful of starchy pasta water into the pan using a ladle. This helps the heavy cream and black truffle sauce emulsify and cling evenly to the noodles.

   Tip: Always reserve a cup of pasta water before draining your noodles, as the starch is essential for creating a smooth, glossy sauce consistency.
9. 9Pour in Heavy Cream

   

   Pour heavy cream into the pan directly over the pasta to create a rich, milky base and coat the noodles evenly.

   Tip: Keep the heat low so the heavy cream does not curdle or separate.
10. 10Add Black Truffle Sauce

    

    Add two spoonfuls of high-quality black truffle sauce into the pan. This is the soul ingredient that brings the dishs flavor to its peak.

    Tip: Adjust the quantity of truffle sauce according to your personal preference for aroma strength.
11. 11Add Black Truffle Sauce and Black Pepper

    

    Add two spoonfuls of high-quality black truffle sauce into the pan and grind fresh black pepper over the pasta and cream mixture to build a deeply aromatic base.

    Tip: Black truffle sauce is the soul of this dish, so make sure to add it generously for maximum flavor.
12. 12Add Sea Salt

    

    Grind sea salt over the pasta mixture in the pan to supplement and balance the salty flavor.

    Tip: Taste the sauce before adding salt to avoid over-salting, especially since pasta water and truffle sauce already contain salt.
13. 13Mix and Simmer

    

    Stir-fry on low heat, using tongs to mix the pasta and sauce thoroughly so that the noodles are completely wrapped in the rich cream and truffle mixture.

    Tip: Keep the heat low so the cream doesnt separate while absorbing into the noodles.
14. 14Plate and Garnish

    

    Twirl the pasta into a neat portion and place it on a plate, then garnish with premium caviar and chopped green onions.

    Tip: Add the caviar right before serving to maintain its texture and luxurious presentation.
