Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz pappardelle pasta
- 8 oz mushrooms (cremini or shiitake)
- 1 tbsp truffle oil
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pappardelle according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a small cup of pasta water, and set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the mushrooms and sauté until soft and browned.
- Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low.
- Stir in grated Parmesan until melted and the sauce is smooth. If too thick, add reserved pasta water to loosen.
- Remove from heat and drizzle in the truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix thoroughly.
- Add the cooked pappardelle to the sauce and toss gently to coat. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Use good-quality truffle oil and add sparingly. For variations, consider adding wilted spinach or cooked chicken.
