Description

GOOD TO HAVE ON HAND

  • medium sized pan

 


Ingredients

Units Scale
RISOTTO
  • 200 grams risotto rice
  • 400 milliliters broth, vegetable or chicken
  • 200 milliliters dry white wine
  • 300 milliliters water
  • 100 grams parmesan
  • 1 white onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp butter
  • salt & pepper to taste
MUSHROOMS
  • 250 grams mushrooms of your choice (I used brown champignons, oyster mushrooms & shimeji mushrooms)
  • 50 milliliters dry white wine
  • 1 stem rosemary
  • 1 stem sage
  • 1 stem thyme
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp butter
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Finely grate the Parmesan.
  2. Clean the mushrooms and cut half of them into large pieces and the other half into small pieces.
  3. Cut the onion into small pieces.
  4. Pluck the herb leaves from the stalks and chop finely.
  5. Heat 1 tsp butter and 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan. Add the mushrooms and fry for approx. 10 minutes until golden brown. Add the finely chopped herbs, stir and fry briefly. Then deglaze with 50ml white wine and reduce until there is no more liquid in the pan. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper. Put the pan to aside.
  6. Heat 1 tsp butter and 2 tbsp olive oil in the pan. Sauté the onions until translucent and then add the risotto rice. Stir everything well and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Now deglaze with 100ml (1/2 cup) white wine and reduce over a medium heat until there is no more liquid in the pan.
  7. Now pour 100ml (1/2 cup) of the stock into the rice. Leave to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated. Now pour in the next 100ml, stir and leave it to simmer until the rice soaked up the liquid. Proceed in the same way with the remaining 200 ml (1 cup) of stock, adding 100 ml (1/2 cup) at a time and allowing to simmer.
  8. Now add 150ml (1+ 1/4 cup) of the water to the rice and also let it cook until the rice absorbed the water. Next, add 100ml (1/2 cup) of white wine. Finally, add the last 150ml (1+ 1/4 cup) of water and cook now while stirring. The whole process takes about 40 minutes.
  9. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the Parmesan. Stir well so that the Parmesan melts. Now add half of the fried mushrooms and stir well.
  10. Divide the risotto between plates and top with the other half of the mushrooms. Top with freshly ground pepper and olive oil to taste.

Dive into the world of gourmet cooking with my Truffle Mushroom Mascarpone Pasta, a dish that promises a luxurious taste experience. Perfect for those who adore the rich, earthy flavors of truffles and the creamy texture of mascarpone, this easy Truffle Pasta is a delightful twist on traditional Italian cuisine. Its decadent mushroom blend is sure to impress, offering a quick yet elegant meal option for any occasion. 

You can use broth or stock for this dish. Just note that if you use stock, you will need to season the whole dish more strongly. As always, homemade broth or stock will make the dish taste a thousand times better than store-bought. Chopped truffle pieces in oil and truffle oil are a much cheaper and very tasty alternative to fresh truffles. You can order the products online or in a supermarket.

To elevate your dining experience, serve it hot, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of herbs. Pair it with a light, crisp white wine to complement the richness of the truffles and mascarpone. It’s a Luxury Pasta Dish that’s perfect for intimate dinners or as a sophisticated centerpiece for your gatherings.

If you have leftovers, let the pasta cool down and then store it in an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. When ready to enjoy again, gently reheat it on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of stock or a dollop of mascarpone to retain its creamy texture. This Truffle Pasta delight remains a tantalizing treat, even as leftovers!
