Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons truffle oil
- 30 grams fresh truffles
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh fettuccine pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-4 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the truffle oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt.
Once the butter has melted, pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the butter and truffle oil. Allow the mixture to heat through until it starts to simmer.
Add half of the grated Parmesan cheese into the skillet, stirring until it melts and forms a creamy sauce. Season the sauce with the salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked pasta directly from the boiling water into the sauce in the skillet. Reserve some pasta cooking water if needed.
Toss the pasta in the sauce until it is well coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Remove the skillet from heat and shave half of the fresh truffles over the pasta, mixing gently to distribute the truffle shavings evenly.
Serve the pasta onto plates and garnish with the remaining grated Parmesan cheese, the rest of the shaved truffles, and chopped parsley.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your elegant truffle pasta dish.
