Total time
Author: Liliana (recipe adapted from Chef Mirella's recipe)
Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose or ‘00’ flour
- 1 1 ¼ cups semolina flour
- 1 cup water (more as needed)
- semolina flour for tossing
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 ounce flour
- 2 cups whole milk, heat to boiling stage
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh truffle (or truffle oil if fresh truffles are not available)
- Combine the two flours on a large bowl or wooden working surface and make a well.
- Add the water to the well and incorporate the flour and water with your hands until the dough and water are well mixed.
- Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and pliable.
- Cover the dough with a clean cotton tea towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Place the dough on the wooden working surface that has been sprinkled with semolina.
- Using a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough in a rectangle or round shape until it is ⅛ thick.
- Roll up the dough into a log and cut the strangozzi ¼ to ½ inches wide (not too thin, not too thick).
- Gently unroll them and spread on a floured surface to avoid them sticking together.
- Melt the butter in a small plan. Add the flour and cover over low heat, whisking all the time for a few minutes until the flour loses its raw smell.
- Do not let the flour take on any colour.
- Slowly add the warm milk, whisking all the while to avoid lumps.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and cook until thick, about 10 minutes after it reaches a boil.
- Whisk in the grated truffle or truffle oil. Take the pan off the heat.
- Fill a large pot with water.
- Bring to a boil and add 3 tablespoons of salt.
- Add the strangozzi and cook al dente (the strangozzi should be firm)
- Drain the strangozzi and add the Truffle Sauce. Mix well.
- Plate and serve with a sprinkling of truffle (if using).
