COOKING

1. 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.

3. Now pour 100ml (1/2 cup) of the stock into the rice. Leave to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated.

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!
