Preparation

Step 1

The combination of truffle salt and truffle oil is what makes this super-simple pasta dish a delicious treat. You don't need a lot of either for the rich, decadent flavor to come through. All that's needed to complete the meal is a salad tossed with a classic vinaigrette and a glass of your favorite Pinot Noir.

Put a large pot of salted water on to boil for the pasta, cook according to the package directions and drain.

While the pasta is cooking, heat the butter and olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and sauté until soft and translucent. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking just until they begin to brown and any liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with truffle salt and pepper, then stir in the cream. Heat through, add the chives and toss with the pasta.
