- For an extra touch of luxury, shave some fresh truffles over the pasta before serving.
- If you prefer a stronger truffle flavor, add a few drops of truffle oil directly to the plated pasta.
- Serve the Creamy Truffle Pasta with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
- To make it a complete meal, add sautéed mushrooms or grilled chicken to the pasta.
- Experiment with different types of truffle oil to find your favorite flavor profile.
Serving advice
Serve the Creamy Truffle Pasta in individual bowls or on a large platter. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an elegant presentation.
Presentation advice
