This Creamy Truffle Alfredo Pasta is a luxurious yet simple dish featuring al dente pasta enveloped in a rich, velvety sauce made from butter, heavy cream, grated garlic, Parmesan cheese, and aromatic truffle oil. Perfect for a comforting dinner that impresses with its decadent flavors and silky texture.

Ingredients

Pasta

  • 3/4 lb pasta (any shape)

Sauce

  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 clove garlic (grated)
  • 1 heaping cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
  • 1 tbsp truffle oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil the Pasta: Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water. Stir occasionally and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water for later use.
  2. Simmer the Sauce: While the pasta cooks, combine the butter, heavy cream, and grated garlic in a large skillet over very low heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, being careful not to boil. Season with a pinch of salt and several turns of freshly cracked black pepper.
  3. Toss to Coat: Add the cooked pasta and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to the skillet with the sauce. Sprinkle in the grated cheese and drizzle the truffle oil over the top. Toss everything together thoroughly, adding more pasta water as needed to achieve a velvety smooth sauce that evenly coats the pasta. Taste and adjust salt seasoning if needed.
  4. Serve: Divide the creamy truffle Alfredo pasta among serving bowls. Top with fresh cracked black pepper and extra grated Parmesan cheese for a final touch of richness and flavor. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Reserve pasta water to help loosen and smooth the sauce as needed.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese for the best texture and flavor.
  • Be cautious not to boil the cream sauce to prevent separation.
  • Adjust truffle oil amount based on your preference for truffle intensity.
  • This dish is best served immediately for optimal creaminess and texture.
