Easy Truffle Alfredo Pasta
This easy pasta recipe combines butter, Parmesan cheese and truffle for an indulgent, creamy dish.
Ingredients
- 200 g Pasta Pappardelle or tagliatelle work well
- 100 g Parmesan Cheese Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
- 100 g Unsalted Butter
- Truffle Oil See above for links to buy
- Truffle Pate See above for links to buy
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in heavily salted boiling water according to the packet instructions, reducing the cooking time by a minute.
- Grate the Parmesan as finely as possible and cut the butter into small chunks.
- Place a saute pan over a medium heat. Add about half a ladle of pasta cooking water to the pan. Gradually add the butter, whisking constantly, until it begins to emulsify. Add the cooked pasta into the sauce pan. Gradually add the parmesan, stirring the pasta constantly, until it creates a smooth and silky sauce. Add more pasta water if needed. Stir through 2 tablespoons of the truffle pate and about a tablespoon of truffle oil. It is unlikely that it will require salt, as the Parmesan is salty and the pasta is seasoned in the water but taste and adjust accordingly.
- Serve right away with garlic bread.
