Zucchini and Black Truffle is a perfect combining especially with Fresh Egg Pasta. With Thermomix you can prepare both fresh egg pasta and the zucchini sauce. I tasted this dish during a wedding party in my childhood friend Maria's countryside house and I immediately wanted to adapt it for Thermomix. Black Truffle has been picked up in Umbria.

Curious Kitchen
Some people get tagliatelle cutting egg pasta with a Chitarra (guitar litterally) Pasta Cutter", a guitar-like device used to cut the pasta, which has a wooden frame strung with metal wires. Sheets of pasta are pressed down onto the device, and then the wires are "strummed" so the slivers of pasta fall through.
They say it works, but I've never tried...my husband is a guitarist and...you know...He may not accept it :-)
