Ingredients

400g tagliatelle pasta
150g bacon, diced
200g mushrooms, sliced (preferably a mix of cremini and shiitake)
250ml heavy cream
2 tablespoons truffle oil
1 handful of grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the tagliatelle pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced bacon. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pan and set it aside, leaving some drippings in the skillet.
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them in the bacon drippings for about 5 minutes, or until they become tender and golden brown. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the crispy bacon back into the skillet, and mix in the cooked tagliatelle. If the sauce is thick, add some reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the truffle oil and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy every creamy, rich bite!

This creamy tagliatelle is the quintessential comfort food that’s sure to warm your heart and feed your soul. Pair it with a crisp white wine for an unforgettable dining experience!
