Truffle and Mushroom Pasta

[Luna]

Hey, pasta enthusiasts! Are you ready to elevate your pasta game to new heights of culinary delight? Get ready to indulge in the luxurious flavors of our Truffle and Mushroom Pasta recipe!

Ingredients:

• 300g pasta of your choice (such as fettuccine or linguine)
• 200g mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons truffle oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
2. Sauté the mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Prepare the sauce: Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the mushrooms. Drizzle the truffle oil over the pasta and mushrooms, then pour in the heavy cream. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated evenly in the sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it up.
4. Season and serve: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the sauce. Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
5. Serve immediately: Divide the truffle and mushroom pasta among plates or bowls. You can sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese and parsley on top if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the rich, earthy flavors of this decadent dish!

This dish is a celebration of simplicity and sophistication, combining the earthy aroma of truffle oil with creamy Parmesan cheese for a decadent sauce that coats each strand of pasta in pure bliss. You can also customize this recipe by adding cooked chicken, crispy bacon, or even a handful of baby spinach for extra flavor and texture.
