Tonight I surprised my family with a new dish I created on the spur! I just had to share with you all because it was slammin'! I saw this bottle of truffle oil in our pantry and thought ooh fancy! It sounded different and I never cooked with it before, so I decided to be inventive with it!
Estimated total cook time was 30-40 mins.
I created the magical pasta dish as follows:
I cooked 1 1/2 cups of chopped fresh mushrooms, 2 shallots chopped long ways and thin, and 1 large clove of fresh garlic in a little less than 1/3 cup of truffle oil in a pan.
I cooked the penne as I let the mushrooms and shallots mixture simmer over low heat on the stove to cook through in the truffle oil.
After the pasta was cooked I drained it and returned it to the pot with about a table spoon of the starchy water still remaining in the pot.
Then I mixed in the mushroom and shallot mixture into the pasta, along with a cup of grated parmesan cheese, and an extra drizzle of the truffle oil.
The finished product was delicious, and served best with a side of fresh Italian bread with Olive oil and cracked pepper to dip! The dish got awesome reviews from my family! There wasn't an ounce left over after dinner- which is always a good sign;)
Try out the recipe for your family a night and let me know your thoughts!
Thanks for reading XOXO
