Step 1
In a large pot, bring the 4 cups chicken broth to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and keep at a gentle simmer.
Step 2
Add the 8 oz tortellini to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually 5-7 minutes, until the tortellini are tender and float to the surface.
Step 3
Stir in the 1 tbsp butter, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 4
Ladle the tortellini and broth into bowls. Using a truffle slicer or sharp knife, shave the 0.5 oz truffle thinly over each bowl.
Step 5
Serve immediately, garnishing with extra black pepper if desired. Enjoy the rich, earthy aroma.
Step 6
Optional: For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
Step 7
If using preserved truffle, drain and pat dry before shaving. Store any leftover truffle in an airtight container in the fridge.
