Pasta With Truffle Cream Sauce Food

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.
