Creamy Linguine w/ Chestnut Mushrooms

Creamy linguine with Truffle tapenade! YUMMM
I’m crazy about all thing’s truffle. Cheese, sauce, pasta or tapenades. And though real truffles taste slightly different, I’m not a snob when using a store-bought tapenade or paste from the store. Try this out and thank me later!
>>After this pasta you'd wanna try out my Truffle Grilled Cheese!

Instructions
