Equipment
- skillet
- slottedspoon
- seive
- large pot
Ingredients
- pasta of your choice (fettuccine, tagliatelle, or spaghetti)
- unsalted butter
- garlic
- heavy cream
- parmesan cheese
- truffle oil
- salt and black pepper
- fresh parsley
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water.
- In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring the cream to a gentle simmer.
- Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the cream, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Drizzle the truffle oil into the sauce, adjusting the amount to your preferred taste. Truffle oil is potent, so a little goes a long way.
- Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the truffle cream sauce. Toss the pasta gently in the sauce, ensuring it's well coated.
- If the sauce seems too thick, gradually add a small amount of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it, as needed.
- Once the pasta is coated in the creamy truffle sauce and heated through, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Garnish the truffle pasta with additional grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
