Perfectly cooked pasta is tossed in this rich sauce, creating an indulgent yet simple dish that comes together in just 30 minutes, ideal for a comforting dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

Pasta

  • 8 ounces pasta (such as fettuccine or tagliatelle)

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons truffle oil
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley or chives (chopped, optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Prepare the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Make the cream sauce: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the garlic and butter. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring occasionally to thicken slightly.
  4. Add truffle oil and Parmesan: Lower the heat to low, then stir in the truffle oil and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  5. Toss pasta in sauce: Add the cooked pasta into the skillet with the cream sauce. Toss thoroughly to coat the pasta evenly and heat through for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Adjust seasoning: Remove the skillet from heat, taste the pasta, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Serve and garnish: Plate the pasta hot, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives for a burst of color and freshness if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh pasta if available, as it absorbs the sauce beautifully.
  • Truffle oil has a strong flavor; add it gradually to suit your taste.
  • Parmesan can be substituted with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
  • This dish pairs well with a crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.
  • To make it vegetarian, ensure the pasta contains no egg if desired.
