Strips with delicate truffle cream

I can guide you through the preparation of the Strips with delicate truffle cream, a dish that combines the simplicity of pasta with the sophistication of the truffle aroma. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

• 250 g of Strips pasta or other long pasta
• 1 jar of truffle cream (about 80 g)
• 200 ml of fresh liquid cream
• 50 g of grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste
• Butter to taste (optional)
• Fresh truffle for garnishing (optional)

Preparation

1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for cooking the pasta.
2. Meanwhile, gently heat the fresh cream in a large pan without bringing it to a boil.
3. Add the truffle cream to the fresh cream and mix well to combine the two ingredients. If you desire a creamier texture, you can add a piece of butter, letting it melt into the sauce.
4. When the water boils, cook the pasta al dente following the times on the package.
5. Drain the perfectly al dente pasta and transfer it to the pan with the truffle cream.
6. Sauté for a few minutes over medium-high heat to flavor it well, adding the grated Parmesan cheese.
7. Adjust salt and pepper to your taste.
8. Plate the strips carefully and, if you have fresh truffle, use a flake grater to garnish each dish with a few flakes of truffle.
9. Serve immediately to best enjoy the aroma of the truffle.

Curiosity

The truffle is a precious fungus highly appreciated in cooking for its intense and characteristic aroma. In the case of fresh truffles, there are different varieties, such as the white truffle of Alba or the black truffle of Norcia, each with their own peculiarities. When using truffle cream, you have the advantage of having the flavor of the truffle available in any season and being able to easily integrate it into sauces and dressings.
