Two main types of truffles (tartufi in Italian) are found in the Spoleto area: the precious black truffle, Tuber melanosporum (also known as the ‘Norcia’, ‘Spoleto’ or ‘Périgord’ truffle), and the summer black truffle, Tuber aestivum. These delicacies are often combined with the traditional Umbrian Strangozzi noodles (a slightly thicker version of spaghetti) or umbricelli pasta. Here is the Chamberlains’ slight 1967 variation, using spaghetti.
