What are your best tips for how to make truffle pasta at home?
- This dish yields a luxuriously silky sauce, so adding some sage, oregano or thyme can create a deeper herby flavor.
- Try adding some dry-fried mushrooms to the dish to amp up the rich umami notes of the pasta and truffle sauce.
- Make sure to cook the pasta to al dente. Some of the ruffled edges of the porcini trumpets can start to fall off if the pasta is overcooked.
- Make sure to use a top quality Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. You don’t want an average cheese to diminish the amazing porcini and truffle flavor.
- Always save a bit of the pasta water to add to your sauce in order to get the consistency exactly where you want it.
