Ingredients
- 1pound imported or homemade fettuccine
- 1½cups heavy cream
- ½teaspoon salt
- ¼teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2tablespoons finely chopped chives
- 1large white truffle, or 2 small (about 3½ ounces)
Preparation
- Step 1
If using imported fettuccine, cook it according to the directions on the package. If using homemade fettuccine, add it to a pot of boiling water, return the water to a boil and cook the fettuccine about 1 minute, until just tender.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, bring the cream to a boil in a large saucepan and then immediately transfer it to a stainless-steel bowl large enough to hold the cooked fettuccine. Stir in the salt, pepper and chives.
- Step 3
When the fettuccine is cooked to the desired tenderness, remove approximately ⅓ cup of the cooking liquid from the pot and add it to the cream. Drain the fettuccine in a colander, shaking it well to remove all excess water.
- Step 4
Add the drained fettuccine to the hot cream mixture and toss it well for about 30 seconds, until all the strands are coated. Most of the liquid will be absorbed by the fettuccine.
- Step 5
Divide the fettuccine among 6 plates and pour over it any juices remaining in the bowl. Using a vegetable peeler or truffle slicer, shave the truffle directly on top of the pasta and serve immediately.

Where oh where in the East Coast, can one find white truffles???
Sorry to see this so long after your post, but Alma Gourmet is the best source. I mail order from this company and have been very happy with its service.
