Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Fettuccine or spaghetti pasta (dried)
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 80 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1.5 tablespoons Truffle oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the cream for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the cream sauce. Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the truffle oil. Be cautious with the amount, as truffle oil has a strong flavor.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss the pasta to coat it evenly in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy the luxurious flavors of this nut-free truffle pasta!
