Pure decadence, Dark Chocolate Truffles!

Dark chocolate on it’s own is so incredibly intense, and lends perfectly in these little bites of indulgence. They are well balanced, smooth, and rich, perfect to make up anytime you need a treat or to share with someone.

I’m a huge Lucille Ball fan and when I enjoy candies or truffles, all I can think of is that classic episode of her and Ethel at the chocolate factory! Oh my goodness, so funny!

I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with that conveyor belt, oh dear me! BUT I was a sight still, chocolate was everywhere, and I was happily covered in it. The stuff melts fast enough 😉

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

Pasta & Sauce Base
  • 12 oz fettuccine or linguine
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
Truffle Finish:
  • 1-2 tsp white truffle oil (start with 1 tsp, taste, and adjust)
Optional Garnish
  • Extra Parmesan shavings
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Large pot for cooking pasta
  • 1 Large skillet or sauté pan for the sauce
  • 1 Wooden spoon or silicone spatula for stirring
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Cheese grater or Microplane for fresh Parmesan

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to package directions. Save ½ cup of the pasta water, then drain.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add mushrooms. Cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5–6 minutes.
  3. Lower the heat. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of truffle oil. Taste, then add the second teaspoon if you’d like more aroma.
  5. Mix the drained pasta into the sauce, adding a splash of reserved pasta water as needed for a silky, cohesive texture.
  6. Divide among plates. Top each serving with additional Parmesan and chopped parsley. Plate immediately and enjoy.
Tips & Variations
  1. Mushrooms: Cremini are reliable and flavorful, but wild mushrooms (like shiitake or chestnut) add amazing depth.
  2. Cream swap: Replace half the heavy cream with mascarpone for extra richness and a silkier texture.
  3. Truffle choices: White truffle oil offers a delicate aroma; black truffle oil delivers stronger notes—choose based on your preference.
