Have you tried rendering the foie gras, straining the fat and then adding it to your pasta recipe?

You can't taste much of the egg yolk on the pasta either, so should you try adding more foie gras to the mixture?

I'd forgoe traditional pasta and experiment with powdered transglutaminase. If you mix the enzyme with the foie and puree, you could extrude "foie" strands. This would give you a full flavor without competing with egg dough, it also will allow you to keep from rendering the fat. Rendering the fat from the solid weakens the flavor even if you decide to add the fat back to the dough. Heston Blumenthal and Wylie Dufresne both use the powdered enzyme.

Perhaps identifying the outcome you are looking for would help- structure, color, flavor, aroma, texture...
