Truffle has such as special taste that you should keep the recipe simple to enjoy its flavors. It is best grated on pasta or in eggs. 

Tip: You may keep fresh truffles in a box in the fridge together with whole eggs. It will give the eggs a truffle flavor!

When we have a fresh truffle, we grate it in butter and place this truffle butter in an ice cube tray in the freezer. Then, when we want to flavor a dish with truffles, we take out a butter-cube or two and add it. 

Here is a recipe we recommend for a delicious mushroom and truffle pasta dish!

INGREDIENTS

(2-3 people)

  • A small can of truffles in the oil, or even better, a little piece of fresh truffle to grate on top of the pasta
  • 2 cups of fresh mushrooms (shiitake, button, paris)
  • 300g of thick cream
  • 300g of fresh linguini or tagliatelle which you will cook to al dente
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 1 medium onion
  • Salt, pepper, olive oil

PREPARATION OF THE TRUFFLE PASTA

  • Cook the pasta so that it's al dente
  • Heat olive oil and 2 spoons of butter in a pan
  • Add the onion and garlic until it's browned (but not burnt)
  • Stir all the mushrooms and keep a little bit of the mushroom water in there so it won't get dry
  • Add the cream and pasta and mix it all, adding salt and pepper.
  • When ready to serve, grate the truffle on top of the plate.

Bon appétit !

Thanks so much for all of …

I cannot say enough good things about Emilie and "France Just for You". We spent 15 days in France in June to celebrate our special anniversary and it was more than perfect.

Emilie & Guillaume did an amazing job organizing and helping us on our trip to France this month. I cannot speak highly enough! Everything was planned to perfection and things went smoothly. We did a few days in Paris, Normandy and Provence, and in each one what they planned was spectacular. We especially enjoyed the wine tasting and picnic in …

Just returned from an amazing trip with our family, including 3 teenage boys. Emilie carefully listened to our request to focus on military history and arranged an itinerary with just the right balance of history, culture, art, and military history. We had incredible guides to Paris, WWI, and WWII sites plus unique B&Bs. So many memories!

Emilie did a fantastic job of planning our 13 day trip from Avignon to Bordeaux, with time spent in Provence, Cathar Country, Basque Country, and Bordeaux. Emilie is an excellent & responsive communicator. Emilie tailored our trip from reserving the rental car and the bed & breakfasts (wonderful places with wonderful hosts), setting up private …
