Creamy Truffle Pasta
Description
This Creamy Truffle Pasta begins with cooking spaghetti according to package instructions in well-salted water for balanced flavor. Separately, finely chopped onions are gently caramelized in olive oil over medium heat until fragrant and soft, taking up to ten minutes. Minced garlic is added, cooking until aromatic before the mixture is ground in a mortar and pestle to create a flavorful paste. The paste is returned to the pot, deglazed with fresh lemon juice, then brought to a simmer with oat milk and vegetable stock. Cornstarch mixed with water is incorporated to thicken the sauce, which is seasoned and enhanced with truffle oil and nutritional yeast, supplying a cheesy, savory note without dairy. The pasta is then combined with this creamy sauce.
Served garnished with parsley, cilantro, olives, vegan parmesan cheese, and chili flakes, this dish presents a balance of creamy, tart, umami, and slightly spicy elements. The use of oat milk and nutritional yeast makes it suitable for those avoiding dairy, while truffle oil lends an earthy, luxurious aroma.
