Pasta Preparation
- 1
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the gemelli pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Mushroom Mixture Preparation
- 2
Sauté the Mushrooms
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the wild mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and have released their moisture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Truffle Cream Sauce Preparation

Make the Cream Sauce
In the same skillet with the mushrooms, reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream. Stir well, then add black truffle oil and grated pecorino cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency. Season with truffle salt to taste.

Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked gemelli pasta to the skillet with the truffle cream sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
