SPAGHETTI ALLA NORCINA

A while ago  Shelley Giles  gave me the gift of a small bottle of black summer truffles . They are Italian truffles and ever since I have been looking for the right recipe to use them in .
Today in class we made beautiful pasta , it was silken pasta .
I was so impressed with our results I came home in  between classes and made more pasta with the truffles as a supplement in mind .

SPAGHETTI ALLA NORCINA
Roll out and cut the pasta in its silken state , and boil the spaghetti till it is el dente  ( approx. 400 gm ).
Heat a good glug of olive oil in a small pan .
Saute 3 cloves of sliced garlic
Now add 3 anchovy fillets cut into pieces ...into the oil and garlic mix.
Reduce heat and allow the anchovies to disintergrate.
Remove the pan from the heat and mix 3 three thinly sliced truffles into the anchovy paste .
Season with salt and pepper .
Drain the spaghetti and spread the truffle and anchovy mix over the spaghetti...
Dress with torn flat parsley.
