INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE RECIPE

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.

How to serve:
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.

How to store:
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!

    COOKING

    1. Heat the butter with the truffle oil in a large pan. Sauté the finely chopped shallots over a medium heat for approx. 3 minutes until translucent.

    2. Now add the chopped mushrooms. Allow to brown for a few minutes so that the mushrooms turn golden brown. Add the peeled garlic cloves as whole and one to two stalks of fresh thyme and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Then deglaze with white wine and let it boil for about five minutes on a medium heat, then stir.

    3. Now add the hot chicken stock and cook over a medium heat until only 1/3 is left. This will take about 15 minutes.

    4. In the meantime, cook the pasta in a pan in boiling salted water until al dente.

    5. Now add the mascarpone to the sauce, stir and heat gently. Remove the garlic clove and thyme from the pan. Now add the chopped truffle. Stir well and remove the pan from the heat. Add 1 tbsp of butter to the sauce. Truffle butter is best for this, but normal butter will also work. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    6. Add the pasta to the sauce in the pan. Stir well. Now add the grated Parmesan and approx. 150 ml of the pasta cooking water to the pan and stir everything until creamy using tongs. This may take a few minutes. Now serve on deep plates. Top with truffle oil and a few mushrooms.

This dish is a symphony of flavors, blending lemon juice with the wholesomeness of vegetables and pasta. Perfect for those seeking a meal that’s both nutritious and bursting with flavor, it’s an ideal comfort food for family dinners or a cozy night in.

Pair it with a crisp white wine or a refreshing lemonade to complement the zesty flavors.

    How to store:
    I don’t recommend making too much of the dish and keeping it in the fridge as the noodles will swell in the soup and it will become too thick.

      Description

      RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

      • large pan
      • sharp knife
      • cutting board
      • large pot

      Ingredients

      Units Scale
      • 160 grams pasta of your choice (I used Tagliatelle)
      • 4 mid-sized white onions
      • 1 tsp butter
      • 1 tbsp olive oil
      • 150 grams fennel salsiccia
      • 2 garlic cloves
      • 1 tbsp tomato paste
      • 1 tsp dried oregano
      • 1 tsp smoked paprika powder
      • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
      • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
      • 50 milliliter dry white wine
      • 100 milliliter heavy cream
      • salt & pepper to taste
      • parmesan, for topping
      • fresh parsley, for topping

      Instructions

      PREPARATIONS

      • Peel the onions and cut them into thin half-rings. Set aside.
      • Remove the casing from the Salsiccia (or keep it on if it’s edible). Cut the sausage into small pieces and set aside.
      • Peel the garlic cloves. Set aside.

      INSTRUCTIONS

      1. Place a large pan over medium heat and add butter. Toss in the onions and season with a pinch of salt. Lower the heat and let the onions cook down for about 15 minutes, until they’re soft and golden. Then, remove the onions from the pan.
      2. Put the pan back on the stove, add some olive oil, and heat it up. Add the Salsiccia, breaking it up with a wooden spoon so it resembles coarse ground meat. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the pieces are golden brown.
      3. Mix in smoked paprika, tomato paste, and oregano, and let it cook briefly until it smells fragrant. Add the garlic to the pan – either finely grate it or press it through a garlic press. Put the onions back in the pan and mix everything well. Now, deglaze with white wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Add balsamic vinegar and mustard. Pour in the cream and let it simmer on low heat. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
      4. Meanwhile, cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions. Save a bit of the pasta water when draining. Add the pasta and some of the pasta water to the pan, tossing it all together until the creamy sauce coats the pasta. Serve on plates, topped with freshly grated Parmesan and parsley.
