Black Truffle Pasta with Meyer Lemon Cream Sauce
Black truffle pasta imported from Italy is slathered in a creamy Meyer lemon sauce!
Remember when I made those garlic truffle fries? Well, Gourmet Spotting sent me another tasting box for me to try out, and I’ve had such a blast playing around with the ingredients.
This month’s box included hand-picked products selected from around the world like Italy, New York and Georgia, leading me to the most adventurous culinary experience.
Now you could imagine that I devoured that bacon caramel popcorn in the blink of an eye, along with that cookie and blondie. And I’m totally saving that pancake mix for those busy weekday mornings when I need a complete breakfast before heading off to work.
Oh and that black truffle pasta from Italy? Yeah, I definitely enjoyed the crap out of that one, especially when I used it in a super easy Meyer lemon cream sauce mixed in with sautéed kale, crumbled Italian sausage and a cherry tomato medley. That’s my heaven right there. And that truffle aftertaste? Absolutely amazing. Plus, being able to make this in less than 20 minutes makes it absolute perfection!
