Truffle And Vegetable Pasta Recipes

TRUFFLE MUSHROOM PASTA

Steps:

• Boil the pasta according to package instructions. Reserve a few tablespoons of the starchy water before you drain the pasta once it's cooked.
• In a 10-inch skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic and stir to coat them in the butter. Add the salt and cook the mushrooms for 10 minutes or until they've released their moisture and they are deep brown in color.
• Transfer the cooked mushrooms and garlic to a bowl or plate. In the same pan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the cream and stir to combine it with the butter. Once the cream is heated through add the shredded cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted. Add one or two tablespoons of the pasta water to thin the sauce.
• Add the mushrooms and pasta to the pan and stir to coat them evenly in the sauce. Garnish with the chopped parsley and grated cheese and serve.

PASTA WITH TRUFFLE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook the past in a tall pot of boiling water.
• Drain after reaching al dente (when there's a little bit of a bite to the texture of the pasta) -- spaghetti and fettucine about 6 minutes, penne and rigatoni about 9 minutes.
• While pasta is boiling, melt the butter in a large saucepan or frying pan with tall sides.
• Mix into the melted butter the Parmigiano cheese and cream.
• Add the cooked pasta, toss well, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
• Put the pasta mixture into a large serving bowl and grate the truffle over the pasta. You may also want to serve more truffles separately at the table for guests to add to their servings.
• Serve additional grated Parmigano cheese to pass around the table also.

TRUFFLE OIL PASTA AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to the package, strain and set aside.
• Preheat a cooking pan over medium heat. Add about a tablespoon of truffle oil and mushrooms. Saute mushrooms until almost cooked.
• Press garlic and add it to the pan. Saute until fragrant.
• Add pasta and stir well.
• Add remaining truffle oil, cilantro, salt and pepper. Saute well.
• When serving, grate fresh Parmesan cheese on top.

TRUFFLE PASTA

Steps:

• For the fresh pasta: Combine the flour, eggs and yolk in a food processor and pulse until a dough comes together. Transfer to a counter dusted lightly with flour and knead gently until the dough comes together and is smooth, about 1 minute. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
• Divide the dough into 4 pieces. With your hands, flatten and shape one piece of dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Dust it lightly with flour and pass it through the widest setting on a pasta machine. (If the dough comes out oddly shaped, re-form into a rectangle.) Fold it into thirds, like a letter, and if necessary, flatten it to a 1/2-inch thickness. Pass it through the widest setting again with the seam of the letter perpendicular to the rollers. Repeat this folding and rolling step 10 to 12 times, dusting the dough with flour if it becomes sticky.
• Without folding the dough, pass it through the next setting on the pasta machine. Continue to pass the dough through the machine, reducing the space between the rollers after each pass and lightly dusting the pasta with flour on both sides each time, until the pasta is about 1/16-inch thick and 3 inches wide.
• Lay the rolled-out dough on a floured counter. Roll out the remaining dough in the same manner. Cut each piece of dough into 11-inch lengths. Cut the dough into fettuccine by hand, or by passing through the pasta machine on the fettucine setting.
• For the black truffle sauce: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and boil until al dente, about 3 minutes. Strain, reserving 2 cups of pasta water.
• Add the butter to a large pan over medium heat and let melt. Add half the Parmesan and 1/2 cup pasta water and stir to combine. Add the pasta and toss to coat. Add the remaining Parmesan and stir to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add more pasta water. Divide pasta among 4 bowls. Top with shaved truffle and more Parmesan. Enjoy!

TRUFFLE AND VEGETABLE PASTA

Steps:

• 1.Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Place dried porcini in a small bowl and submerge in 1 cup boiling water. Cover and let soak 10 minutes. 2. Make truffle butter: Pour porcini water through a fine-mesh strainer into a small saucepan and press on mushrooms to release liquid. Simmer liquid over medium heat until it reduces to 1/3 cup, about 3 minutes. 3. Turn off heat and, whisking constantly, incorporate butter one piece at a time into broth.
