Pasta

Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil the Rigatoni

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the rigatoni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Preparing Mushroom Duxelle

  1. 2

    Sauté Shallots and Garlic

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent.

  2. 3

    Cook Mushrooms

    Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are browned.

  3. 4

    Season the Duxelle

    Stir in the chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Combining and Serving

  1. 5

    Combine Pasta and Duxelle

    Add the cooked rigatoni to the mushroom duxelle in the skillet. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the pasta is coated with the mushroom mixture.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Plate the pasta and top with grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of truffle oil. Serve immediately.
