Instructions

1

Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

2

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots, sauté until fragrant. Add the cremini and shiitake mushrooms, cook until tender.

3

Make the Sauce

Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, truffle oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano to the skillet. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

4

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the drained pasta to the skillet, toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water gradually until desired consistency is reached.

5

Garnish and Serve

Plate the pasta, top with fresh parsley, basil, and shaved truffle if using. Serve immediately.
