ingredients

1 cup dark green extra virgin olive oil
salt
freshly ground white pepper
3 tablespoons dark green extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup freshly grated Reggiano cheese
1 package (16 ounce size) angel hair pasta
Parmesan cheese
2 ounces fresh white truffles
2 tablespoons fresh basil, julienne

directions

In a large pot, bring 8 quarts of lightly salted water to a boil, then add the 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, no more than two minutes. Drain well.

Toss the pasta with the cup of olive oil, half the basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Mound the pasta in the middle of each of heated large serving plates. Sprinkle the pasta with the Parmesan Cheese.

With a truffle shaver or swivel-bladed vegetable peeler, shave the truffle over each serving. Garnish with the remaining basil.
