Alfredo Sauce on Truffles. That's the essence of this rich, decadent dish. Do NOT be tempted to replace the white truffle butter with truffle oil as some have suggested! Most truffle oil is NOT made with truffles but by chemical process and it does NOT taste the same. See NYT article titled - Hocus Pocus and a Beaker of Truffles from May 16 2007. Review format would not accept the URL link but you can get to it via web search.

Also, some of the special taste of this dish comes from both the chives and the shaved fresh parmesano reggiano. If you omit the chives and use a grated,worse yet pre-grated, parmesan it will not be the same.

Started with a green salad, accompanied with a glass of great wine and ending with fresh fruit for dessert, this pasta is the centerpoint of a perfect meal and at a 4oz serving “per” it is plenty for main course status.

I loved this recipe! I sauteed some chanterelle mushrooms in some of the black truffle butter, and then made my cream sauce in the pan. I also garnished with Italian parsley instead of chives, but I'm sure either are fine.

You can easily thin out the sauce with some of the pasta water until you get the consistency you want!

This recipe is INCREDIBLE! My daughter made it by accident because she was looking for a super easy recipe to make. She had no idea what truffle butter tasted like. OOOMMMGGG is this great! I used to think that truffles tasted like dirty shoes, but through this recipe I learned that truffle BUTTER is entirely different, especially WHITE truffle butter. We get ours at Whole Foods. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE any other truffle product as they are veryyyy bitter and will ruin your dish.
This is honestly the most incredible, dependable, easy, rich, lush, expensive-sounding recipe EVER. Make double or triple--- you will want some the next day!
It tastes the best if you are veryyyyyy generous with the chives and the parmesan upon serving. Creates an interesting contrast! And I always add some cooked chicken right at the end just to balance out the amount of carbs in the noodles because without chicken I would eat the entire bowl of this pasta!

I've been wanting to try this for so long. I followed the recipe exactly as written. I have to say it really didn't have that pronounced truffle flavor I love. Also, had to adjust the salt as I found it a little bland. I added some truffle salt and truffle oil to finish. I think next time I will grate the cheese and incorporate throughout. I'll try this again.

I made this for the first time this week and the family raved about it! I couldn't find truffle butter at any of my local groceries so I made my own (1 stick of unsalted sweet cream butter + 1/2 teaspoon white truffle oil for the recipe. Will definitely be making this again!

My son made this for me the first time and instead of using truffle butter which I didn't have on hand he substituted 3 oz. good butter and 2 tsp of truffle oil. It was fabulous.

Very easy to make and very tasty! Today was my first go around on this recipe. When making the sauce I loved the aroma of the truffles and thought it would be perfect. But, once I added the noodles, the strength of the truffle aroma and taste was a bit weakened. The next time I do this recipe, I would add some truffle oil on top to finish with some shaved truffles. On my first try I added in porcini mushrooms which was fabulous and served it with sauteed asparagus, zucchini, red onion, leeks, crimini mushrooms and eggplant. I would even throw this diced mixture into the pasta dish and add even more truffles!!! Truffles are the BEST!!!! YUM!!!
