Ingredients

8 ounces pasta such as fettuccine or tagliatelle
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons truffle oil
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley or chives chopped (optional) for garnish

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the garlic and butter. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the truffle oil and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the truffle cream sauce. Toss the pasta in the sauce until it is well coated and heated through. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste the pasta and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve the truffle pasta hot in individual bowls or plates. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives, if desired, to add a pop of color and freshness.

Notes

The key to making this dish well is to make the pasta sauce well. Add in the parmesan cheese on low heat. Add the cheese in batches if needed, and stir the sauce as you add the sauce to avoid any clumping.
If you desire a more runny sauce, add in some drained pasta water to match the consistency of the sauce you like.
