Ingredients
- 400 grams Fettuccine or spaghetti pasta (dried)
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 250 milliliters Heavy cream
- 80 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1.5 tablespoons Truffle oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 3
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the cream for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Step 4
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the cream sauce. Add the salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the truffle oil. Be cautious with the amount, as truffle oil has a strong flavor.
Step 6
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss the pasta to coat it evenly in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
Step 7
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy the luxurious flavors of this nut-free truffle pasta!
