Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Pasta (tagliatelle or fettuccine)
- 1 small Black truffle
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water and drain the rest.
While the pasta cooks, finely shave the black truffle using a truffle slicer or a sharp knife. Set aside a small amount for garnish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Do not let the garlic brown.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until smooth and well combined.
Add the shaved truffles to the sauce and mix well. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the truffle cream sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Divide the pasta among four plates. Garnish with the reserved truffle slices and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the rich, earthy flavor of truffles in every bite.
