Umbria and its gastronomy

Umbria and the truffle, a marriage of flavour for ages, that intimately characterize all the regional gastronomy: It can't be different!
The truffle was already appreciated in the ancient Rome's days according to Plinio in his "Naturalis Historia".
In nearest days the truffle had important extimators such as Gioacchino Rossini, That Defined it "Mozart of Mushroom" and Mata Hari, that ate it for its aphrodisiac virtues. Unlike this we prefere it more with a good dish of pasta better if "penne", like in the following recipe, one of the most traditional recipe in Umbria.

The recipe of the month: "Penne alla Norcina"

500 gr of penne; a black truffle; olive oil; a clove of garlic; some fillet of anchovy without bone; salt and pepper. .

Cook the penne in salt water and, in the meantime, heat the oil with the clove of garlic. Add the anchovy fillets and squash them till they become cream, then remove the garlic and add the truffle.
