4- Bring the mixture together with a spatula and your hands until you obtain a consistent ball of dough.

5- Work the dough with the heel of your hand ,for 10 or 15 minutes,until the mixture is smooth and very elastic.Then wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.

6- Dust a wooden board with 1 tbsp of flour. Unwrap the dough and flatten it with a rolling pin. Roll out the dough into thin pasta sheets, less than 1mm thick

7- If you have a pasta machine, divide the dough into 4 before rolling it out

8- To cut the pasta sheets into tagliatelle, roll the sheets up and cut them into large ¾cm strips. Unravel the cut tagliatelle strips and twirl them into little nests. Dust the nests liberally with flour to prevent them from sticking.

9- Boil the tagliatelle in plenty of lightly salted water, drain and dress with the truffle cream. Add salt and pepper to taste.
