I Can delicious Vermicelli with Truffles



Dear Folks,

Still in my thoughts the wonderful pasta that I ate in one of the nicest restaurants of Piazza del Campo in Siena.

It is a recipe so simple that the taste the aroma will blow your senses, I am talking of course of pasta with black truffles.

You should open a nice bottle of a rich, full bodied red, I suggest a good bottle of Alentejo Wine, Herdade do Esporao.

Hope that you enjoy it has much as I have.
