Cheesy Black Truffle Pasta

Posted on by marymangia20

Is there anything more indulgent than truffles? How about a cheesy black truffle pasta? I’m convinced you can sprinkle truffles on anything it’d be great. Seriously, I dare you to challenge me. Anyway, I recently came across Sabatino Truffle Zest. Seeing as I’m not made of money and can’t just spring to buy a chunk of fresh truffles, I went for it. I ordered it online, and when it finally arrived, my mailbox reeked of truffles. I knew this was going to be good. The excitement to try this was there, but still wanted something healthy. First of all, I grabbed some mushrooms and whole wheat pasta, and then I made a meal of it. The fresh, nutty parmesan cheese paired with woodsy mushrooms and whole wheat pasta was the perfect combination to try out this truffle zest.

Ingredients
  • 7.5 oz of baby bella mushrooms, sliced (or any preferred mushroom)
  • 2 cups of chopped yellow onions
  • 6-8 cloves of garlic (trust me on this)
  • 1 pound of your favorite pasta (I used Bella Terra Whole Wheat Capellini)
  • 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • 3 tbsp of chicken broth
  • 8 tbsp of parmesan cheese
  • General seasoning – Salt, pepper, etc. to taste
  • Sabatino Truffle Zest, to serve
Directions
  1. First things first, get a pot of salted water boiling to prepare to cook the pasta.
  2. Chop up onion, garlic and mushrooms.. Add olive oil to a hot frying pan and add in the onions and garlic.
  3. Season onions and garlic with salt and pepper. You can add dashes of other spices like I did, including garlic powder, onion powder and crush red pepper flakes.
  4. Once water is brought to a boil,  add in your pasta. Cook pasta for about 10-12 minutes, depending on how al dente you like it.
  5. While onions begin to soften (but not totally cooked through), add in the mushrooms.
  6. Once mushrooms and onions are cooked through, add in the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Strain pasta and add to the mushroom and onion mixture. Toss until completely coated.
  8. Add in 4 tbsp of the parmesan cheese into the pasta. Toss until completely melted.
  9. Serve pasta into four bowls and top with 1/2 tsp of truffle zest and 2 tbsp of parmesan cheese. Add more or less truffle zest, to your preferred taste.
