🍲 Ingredients

Garlic: What makes this truffle pasta recipe great is, of course, some of the superstar ingredients like garlic. Garlic is jam-packed with flavor, so you don’t need me to tell you that, but it’s also really healthy for you. In fact, did you know that throughout history, the main use of garlic wasn’t necessarily for cooking but for its health and medicinal properties?

Truffle Oil: Truffle oil adds a lot of punch with its flavor and aroma. Truffles aren’t that chocolatey goodness you’re thinking of; they are a type of fungi. It’s famous for being used in dishes to add flavor and also for having a higher-end price tag dependent on how a chef incorporates it into the dish. However, truffle oil itself isn’t actually made with real truffles. Yes, you heard me correctly. Most truffle oils you’ll buy in a store are made by mixing oil with one or more compounds like 2,4-dithiapentane that have been created in a laboratory.

Nutritional Yeast: Lastly, let’s talk about one other ingredient in this recipe that you know is one of my favs: nutritional yeast. I used Bob’s Red Mill for this recipe because I always have it on hand. What’s great about nutritional yeast is that it gives off this great cheesy flavor without needing the cheese. It is loaded with vitamin B12, too, so it’s healthy. I love sprinkling nutritional yeast on just about everything. It can even be good on snacks like popcorn, or you can throw it into salads , juice, cereal, and the list goes on.

🤔 Common Questions

Slight garlicky in flavor, similar to shallots, with a deep musky aroma. Truffles have a pungent aroma but a subtle flavor that can really elevate any simple recipe or dish.

Black truffle oil is stronger and earthier, whereas white truffle oil has a more delicate onion/garlic fragrance. You can use them interchangeably, but they’ll drastically change the flavor based on what you enjoy most.

Yes, while nutritional yeast adds a nice cheesy flavor, you can omit it or replace it with parmesan for a similar non-vegan option.

The sauce is naturally gluten-free, but you’ll need to use gluten-free pasta to make the entire dish gluten-free. If you are looking for another great gluten-free pasta dish, I also highly recommend my Creamy Gluten Free White Bean Pasta recipe.
