This Cheesy Truffle Alfredo Pasta is a decadent twist on the beloved classic, perfect for a special night in. The sauce begins with sautéed garlic in butter and olive oil, followed by a slow simmer of heavy cream that turns velvety and rich. Seasoned with herbs and spices and enhanced with the aromatic depth of truffle oil, it’s then finished with melty mozzarella and sharp Parmesan. Tossed with perfectly al dente pasta and a touch of reserved pasta water for creaminess, every bite delivers savory indulgence. Whether it’s Valentine’s Day or just a craving for something truly luscious, this dish hits all the right notes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Truffle Oil Timing 🍄
    Add truffle oil at the very end of cooking to preserve its delicate, aromatic flavor and prevent it from losing its nuanced essence through prolonged heat exposure.
  • Pasta Water Magic 💧
    Always reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining - the starchy liquid is liquid gold for creating a silky, emulsified sauce that clings perfectly to the pasta.
  • Cheese Melting Technique 🧀
    Remove the sauce from direct heat when adding cheese and stir gradually to prevent clumping, ensuring a smooth and creamy texture without grainy inconsistencies.
  • Garlic Infusion Secret 🧄
    Crush garlic cloves lightly before mincing to release more essential oils, which will dramatically enhance the depth of flavor in your Alfredo sauce.
  • Cream Temperature Trick 🥛
    Bring heavy cream to room temperature before adding to the sauce to prevent sudden temperature shock and ensure a more consistent, smooth sauce.
