Ingredient Notes:
Garlic: What makes this truffle pasta recipe great is, of course, some of the superstar ingredients like garlic. Garlic is jam-packed with flavor, you don’t need me to tell you that, but it’s also really healthy for you as well. In fact, did you know that throughout history the main use of garlic wasn’t necessarily for cooking, but for its health and medicinal properties? Truffle Oil: Truffle oil adds a lot of punch with its flavor and aroma. Truffles aren’t that chocolatey goodness you’re thinking of, it’s a type of fungi. It’s famous for being used in dishes to add flavor, and also famous for having a higher-end price tag dependent on how a chef incorporates it into the dish. However, truffle oil itself isn’t actually made with real truffles. Yes, you heard me correctly. Most truffle oils you’ll buy in a store are made by mixing oil with one or more compounds like 2,4-dithiapentane that have been created in a laboratory. Nutritional Yeast: Lastly, let’s talk about one other ingredient in this recipe that you know is one of my favs, nutritional yeast. I used Bob’s Red Mill for this recipe because I always have it on hand. What’s great about nutritional yeast is that it gives off this great cheesy flavor without needing the cheese. It is loaded with vitamin B12 too, so it’s healthy. I love sprinkling nutritional yeast on just about everything. It can even be good on snacks like popcorn, or you can throw it into salads, juice, cereal, and the list goes on.
How to make truffle pasta sauce:
What do truffles taste like? Slight garlicky in flavor similar to shallots with a deep musky aroma. Truffles have a pungent aroma but subtle flavor that can really elevate any simple recipe or dish. What kind of pasta should I use? I used spaghetti noodles in this recipe but seriously use whatever you have on hand. What should I serve this with? Serve this recipe with a fresh salad, a side of veggies, or garlic bread. What is the difference of black and white truffle oil? Black truffle oil is stronger and earthier, where white truffle oil has a more delicate, onion/garlic fragrance. You can use them both interchangeably but they’ll drastically change the flavor based on what you enjoy most.
