Notes

  1. Cook pasta for a minute sooner than the allocated time on the package . Finish in the pan.
  2. When buying pasta look for those pastas that have a rougher texture. This will give you incredible flavor as the sauce really mingles with the pasta.
  3. The white truffle oil is an option. If you like it then put it in if not leave it out, it will be equally as good!
