Pasta tossed in a creamy cheese sauce with slices of truffle mushrooms. This creamy truffle pasta is simple, delicious, and perfect for a weeknight meal.
- 8 oz pasta
- 1 cup reserved pasta water, divided
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ⅓ cup shredded pecorino cheese
- 1 tablespoon sliced truffle in oil, more to taste
- Truffle salt to taste
- In a medium sized pot, bring water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the directions on the package until al dente. Reserve about a cup of water. Then drain the pasta and set aside for now.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt two tablespoons of butter. Add cracked black pepper and cook for about a minute until toasted.
- Add about ½ cup reserved pasta water to the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Add the pasta and the rest of the butter. Reduce the heat to low and add the parmesan. Stir and toss with tongs until the cheese has completely melted.
- Next, remove the pan from heat and add the pecorino. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce coats the pasta.
