Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 grams pasta
- 2 tablespoons truffle oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 200 grams cremini mushrooms
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese
- 10 grams fresh truffle
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. No need to salt the water for this low sodium dish.
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, thinly slice the cremini mushrooms and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter along with the truffle oil.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until they are soft and start to brown.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine with the mushrooms and garlic. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
Grate the Parmesan cheese and fresh truffle over the pasta. Sprinkle with black pepper to taste and toss everything gently to combine.
Remove the pasta from heat and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, earthy flavors of truffle in this low sodium dish.
