Pappardelle with Truffle Butter Sauce
Ingredients
Preparation
Cook Vegetables:
- Bring a pot of salted water to boil.
- Halve the tomatoes. Peel and roughly chop garlic. Peel and thinly slice shallot.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and some salt and pepper and cook until tomatoes look blistered and charred, about 5 minutes. Add chopped garlic and shallot and stir until shallots are softened, about 1-2 minutes. Turn off and set aside, keeping the vegetables in the pan.
Make Truffle Sauce:
- In a medium size sauce pan, bring stock to a boil. Cut the butter into small cubes and add gradually to boiling stock, beating briskly with a whisk.
- As soon as all the butter has melted, take off the heat and beat the mixture until it thickens a bit.
- Add the truffle oil and Parmesan, and stir until the parmesan is fully incorporated. Briefly set aside.
Cook Pasta:
- Cook pasta according to directions on package, making sure to keep it al dente because it will continue to cook when mixed with the vegetables and sauce.
- Drain pasta noodles, reserving ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
Assemble and Serve:
- Return to the large pan with vegetables and turn heat to medium-low. Add cooked pasta, truffle butter sauce, and a little of the reserved pasta water. Stir for about 1-2 minutes, until all the strips of pasta and vegetables are well-coated, adding more pasta water if it's looking too dry.
- Plate into two bowls and serve.
