Preparation
Sieve the flour into a wide bowl. Add egg, salt and with water prepare a smooth dough. Leave it to sit for about half hour.
Roll the dough thinly, then cut in stripes 4 cm/1.57 in wide, and then cut them into squares of the same dimensions 4 cm/1.57 in. Form fuži so as to fold the opposite ends over a handle of a wooden spoon and roll so the ends would fold together and form a hollow pasta – fuži. Distribute them on a floured board and leave to dry for a while. Cook in hot, salted water for 5 minutes.
Cut the prosciutto on long stripes, and then to cubes. Chop the parsley.
Melt the butter in a wide dish, add prosciutto and truffles in oil. Mix and pour meat stock. Add pepper and parsley. Stir in the boiled fuži.[/two_third_last]
