A quick and easy one-pot pasta dish featuring creamy sauce, earthy truffle oil, and savory mushrooms, perfect for a comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces dried fettuccine or linguine (spaghetti works too)
  • 10 ounces cremini or baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 12 teaspoons truffle oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Clean and slice the mushrooms, mince the garlic, chop the chives, and grate the Parmesan.
  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Add the dried pasta and pour in the broth, ensuring the pasta is mostly submerged. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until pasta is al dente and most broth is absorbed. Add water or broth if it becomes too dry before pasta is cooked.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle the grated Parmesan. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1-2 teaspoons of truffle oil and the chopped chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan or chives if desired.

Notes

Use low-sodium broth to control saltiness. Start with a small amount of truffle oil as it is potent. Stir pasta occasionally to prevent sticking. For dairy-free, substitute cream with coconut cream and Parmesan with nutritional yeast. For gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta and adjust cooking time.
