Ingredients

Pasta

  • 8 oz fettuccine or tagliatelle

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 oz fresh truffles or 1 tbsp truffle oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine or tagliatelle and cook uncovered for about 8-10 minutes until al dente, meaning the pasta should be tender but still firm to the bite.
  2. Sauté Garlic: While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned, releasing its aromatic flavors.
  3. Make the Sauce: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the garlic and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it melts completely, creating a smooth and creamy sauce.
  4. Add Truffles: If using fresh truffles, thinly slice them and fold them gently into the cream sauce along with the truffle oil. This step infuses the sauce with the distinctive earthy aroma and flavor of truffles.
  5. Toss Pasta with Sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, drain it well, reserving some pasta cooking water. Add the pasta to the skillet with the truffle cream sauce and toss to coat thoroughly, adding a splash of reserved water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  6. Season and Serve: Season the pasta with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve the dish hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and additional truffle slices if desired, to enhance presentation and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overcook the garlic to avoid bitterness.
  • Fresh truffles add the best flavor but are optional; truffle oil alone can suffice.
  • Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency for a silky texture.
  • This dish pairs well with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
