Ingredients
- For the Pasta:
- 250 g tagliatelle pasta (fresh or dried)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped (optional)
- 200 g mixed mushrooms (cremini, button, porcini, or oyster), sliced
- ½ cup heavy cream or double cream
- ¼ cup dry white wine (optional, for deglazing)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- 1–2 teaspoons truffle oil (or freshly shaved truffle if available)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook the Pasta : Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook until al dente (firm to the bite). Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
- Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms : In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots; sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and turn golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
- Step 3: Create the Creamy Sauce : Deglaze the pan with white wine (if using), scraping up any browned bits. Let the wine reduce slightly, then pour in the cream. Stir and simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Step 4: Combine Pasta and Sauce : Add the cooked tagliatelle to the pan. Toss to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy mushroom sauce. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if the sauce feels too thick. Stir in grated Parmesan until melted and creamy.
- Step 5: Add the Truffle Flavor : Turn off the heat and drizzle truffle oil over the pasta. Toss gently to infuse the fragrance throughout.
- Step 6: Garnish and Serve : Plate the pasta and top with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan shavings. Serve immediately while hot.
