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! 

Creamy Linguine w/ Chestnut Mushrooms

  • Prep: 10 min
  • Total: 25 min

Ingredients

- 125 gr cooked linguine (mine was with truffle flavor + don’t throw away the pasta water!)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or truffle oil
- 1 small shallot (finely sliced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tbsp truffle tapenade (mine is from Urbani Tartufi, use less or more)
- 200 ml cream
- ⅛ cup pasta water
- ¼ Parmesan cheese (grated)

For garnish:
- 2 big chestnut mushrooms (finely sliced and lightly sauteed in truffle oil, seasoned with salt & pepper)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according the package instructions and set this aside.

  2. Add olive oil to a pan and cook the finely sliced shallot on medium heat.

  3. After a few minutes add the cream, garlic and truffle tapenade. Mix well before you add the Parmesan cheese and water. Cook the sauce until you see bubbles and add your pasta.
