Ingredients

• 12 ounces Pasta (tagliatelle or fettuccine)
• 1 small Black truffle
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water and drain the rest.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, finely shave the black truffle using a truffle slicer or a sharp knife. Set aside a small amount for garnish.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Do not let the garlic brown.

Step 4

Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally for about 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Add the shaved truffles to the sauce and mix well. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 7

Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the truffle cream sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

Divide the pasta among four plates. Garnish with the reserved truffle slices and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the rich, earthy flavor of truffles in every bite.
