Ingredients

Truffle Cream Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small shallot, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 2 tbsp grated fresh black truffles (from ½ oz), or substitute truffle pate
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped shallot and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes but not browned.
  2. Add Truffles and Wine: Stir in the grated fresh black truffles (or truffle pate) and pour in the dry white wine. Allow the mixture to simmer gently until the wine reduces by about half, concentrating the flavors, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add Cream and Simmer: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly to a creamy consistency that coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Season and Serve: Season the sauce with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve immediately over pasta, steak, chicken, or vegetables for a rich, flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Fresh black truffles are best for authenticity, but high-quality truffle pate is a good substitute.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it slightly with a splash of white wine or cream.
  • This sauce is best served immediately but can be gently reheated over low heat, stirring to prevent breaking.
  • Pair this sauce with simple pasta shapes like fettuccine or tagliatelle to enjoy the truffle flavors fully.
