How To Make Truffle Cream Pasta Sauce?

Preparation Times: 5 minutes

Cooking Times: 15 minutes

Course: Sauce

Cuisine: Italian

Yield: 2 servings (can be doubled or halved depending on needs)

Equipment Needed

• Medium saucepan
• Whisk
• Measuring spoons
• Spatula

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium shallot, finely minced
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons black truffle paste or truffle oil (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 lb (450g) pasta of your choice (tagliatelle, fettuccine, or spaghetti work best)

Instructions

Step-1. Cook the pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook your choice of pasta (tagliatelle, fettuccine, or spaghetti) according to the package instructions, until al dente. Drain, reserving a little pasta water for later.

Step-2. Prepare the truffle cream sauce

In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the shallot becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Be careful not to brown the garlic.

Step-3. Create the cream sauce

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing the cream to thicken slightly.

Step-4. Add the cheese and truffle flavor

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until it fully melts into the sauce. Add the black truffle paste or truffle oil, adjusting to your desired level of truffle flavor. Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step-5. Combine pasta and sauce

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy truffle sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 6: Garnish and serve

Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as finely chopped thyme or parsley, for a fresh and vibrant touch. The sauce is now ready to be poured over your favorite dishes!

Tips and Variations

✔ Truffle Variety: If you have access to fresh truffles, you can shave some over the finished dish for an extra layer of truffle flavor.

✔ Make it Vegan: Substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream and the butter with a plant-based option like olive oil. Use nutritional yeast in place of Parmesan for a dairy-free alternative.

✔ Garlic: Add a clove or two of minced garlic when sautéing the shallots for an extra depth of flavor.

Special Note

For an authentic truffle flavor, use high-quality truffle oil, truffle butter, or freshly shaved truffles. The aroma and taste vary significantly between synthetic and genuine truffle products.
