The World's Best 5-Minute Meal

When I’m in a hurry and I don’t have time to make an elaborate meal, this is my favorite 5-minutes-or-less gourmet go-to recipe.

Ingredients

A box of Conti’s Campofilone pasta (this pasta is the freshest pasta you can buy in a box - you will see what I’m talking about once you taste it), Conti truffle salt, one of our Conti extra-virgin olive oils, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Directions

Boil water and add a dash of salt and olive oil. When you have a rolling boil, add pasta. Boil for just 2-3 minutes (be careful not to over-cook the pasta). Strain the pasta leaving just a bit of the salted water. Pour into serving bowl and add the olive oil and truffle salt to taste. Garnish with fresh grated cheese: I suggest Parmigiano-Reggiano. Grab yourself some sparkling prosecco and ecco! – An instant gourmet meal that will make you look like a star Italian chef.

Tip

If you’ve never experienced the wonders of truffle salt, you’re in for a treat. It adds just the right hint of
flavor, very similar to garlic. It’s also excellent on any white fish, potatoes, eggs, and especially popcorn.
