• Cooking time: 20 minutes
• Total time: 30 minutes

Servings

• Serves 2

Ingredients

• 100 g oyster mushrooms, torn or sliced
• 100 g cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 100 g shimeji mushrooms, trimmed
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• ⅓ bunch fresh thyme, leaves picked
• 2 small chilies, finely sliced (optional, to taste)
• ⅓ bunch fresh parsley, chopped
• 500 mL heavy cream
• 60 g Parmesan cheese, finely grated, plus extra for serving
• 250 g short pasta, such as rigatoni, penne or fusilli
• ½ stick Butter Bar Truffle Butter
• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp truffle oil (optional, for extra truffle flavour)
  

Instructions

1. Cook the pasta. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to package directions. Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
2. Sauté the mushrooms. While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little of the Butter Bar Truffle Garlic Butter, followed by the oyster, cremini and shimeji mushrooms. Sauté until golden and tender.
3. Add the aromatics. Add the garlic, thyme and chili. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
4. Make it creamy. Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the cream. Simmer gently until the sauce begins to thicken.
5. Add the Truffle Garlic Butter. Stir in the remaining Butter Bar Truffle Garlic Butter and Parmesan until melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
6. Toss with pasta. Add the drained pasta and parsley to the skillet. Toss until every piece is coated in the creamy mushroom sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
7. Finish & serve. For an extra boost of truffle flavour, finish with 1 tablespoon of truffle oil. Serve immediately with freshly grated Parmesan and cracked black pepper.
   

Butter Bar Tip

Truffle Garlic Butter does the heavy lifting here. Let it melt into the cream sauce toward the end of cooking so its rich, earthy truffle flavour stays front and centre.
