Ingredients 

  • 200 g 7 oz truffle tagliatelle - you can use regular tagliatelle as well, but the ones with little pieces of truffles will add more flavor to the recipe
  • 50 g ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 200 ml 7 oz rice or soy veggie cream - you can also use regular cooking cream, but I prefer the veggie versions from Alpro

For the truffle salsa:

  • Note: you'll only use 4-5 Tbsp truffle salsa for this pasta recipe the rest you can keep in the fridge for other recipes
  • 500 g 17.5 oz brown button mushrooms
  • 5 Tbsp truffle oil
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 tsp thyme

  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Boil the pasta according to the package instructions.

Prepare the truffle salsa:

  • Wash the mushrooms and cut them into slices.
  • Add 1 Tbsp butter into a pan or bigger saucepan. Cook the onion and garlic, then add the mushrooms and wine.
  • Add salt, pepper, thyme and let them cook for 15-20 minutes with the lid on.
  • Add the cooked mushrooms into a blender and mix until a paste is formed. Add the truffle oil and move everything into a jar.
  • Once the pasta is boiled, drain it and add it to a big pan.
  • Add the grated parmesan on top of the pasta, the vegan cooking cream, and 4-5 Tbsp truffle salsa. Mix and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve with grated parmesan and freshly crushed black pepper on top.
