Istria produces both black and white truffles from the same forests, making it one of the very few places in Europe where you can hunt both varieties.
Diamond-shaped egg pasta, traditionally hand-rolled around a knitting needle, is tossed in butter and shaved fresh with local truffles. Truffle festivals and market stalls in inland Istrian towns like Buzet and Motovun sell it by the paper bowl.
Why it's made this way: The pasta shape dates back to Venetian-ruled villages, where it was a Sunday staple; pairing it with truffles reflects Istria's inland forests being one of Europe's few reliable truffle-hunting grounds.
