Ingredients
- 8 ounce of your favorite pasta spaghetti bucatini, fettuccini
- 2 tablespoon stick good salted butter
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ dried shiitake mushroom soaked with hot water
- 2 cup heavy or half and half cream
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon truffle-infused oil. Add more depending on your taste
- ½ Grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta: In a large pot of salted water, cook the fresh pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and drain.
- Sauté the mushrooms: Heat olive oil and a couple of tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shiitake mushrooms and garlic cloves and cook until golden, about 4-5 minutes.
- Make the creamy sauce: Add the heavy whipping cream and cook over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, 5 minutes.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the parmesan cheese and chicken stock. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to thin the sauce. Drizzle generously with black truffle oil.
- Combine: Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce. Garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese, and, if desired, shavings of fresh truffles. Enjoy immediately with a sprinkle of black pepper.
