Truffle Pasta Recipe

Truffle Pasta Recipe

Let’s talk pasta! You might notice that my website lacks in pasta recipes but when I do make it, I like to keep it pretty simple like with this truffle pasta recipe!

The reason for my lack of pasta recipes is for 2 reasons- first off being that I just don’t love it as much as other carbs, say for example fresh bread or pizza. A fresh sourdough bread is delicious and beneficial in that it also has probiotics which are good for your gut. Pizza, well I just love the flavors and toppings. Secondly, a lot of products in the US made from flour or wheat come from crops that are sprayed with pesticides. This is a big problem and makes me want to stay away from these foods. What I do when I do want a yummy pasta dish is buy pasta from Europe, and no it’s not hard to find!

Personally my favorite place to buy pasta is Home Goods. They always have a great selection of pasta imported from Italy as well as other ingredients you will need such as olive oil, truffle oil and preserved black truffle in jars. I also am picky with the shape of the pasta (but aren’t we all!?) The one I am using in this recipe is called Girelle and by the brand Di Bari. So let’s get to it shall we!
