Pappardelle con Tartufi e Burro Nocciola

This is a simple seasonal Italian recipe that is a true classic. Wide ribbon noodles with truffles. The rich aroma of the truffles marries wonderfully with the brown butter and the pappardelle. If you can't find the fresh truffles you can always use the canned truffles, truffle oil, or even mushrooms.
