SPAGHETTI WITH TRUFFLE OIL, GARLIC AND ROSEMARY

Spaghetti With Truffle Oil, Garlic and Rosemary image

This looked SO good when I saw it at epicurean.com that I knew it had to be MINE, all MINE! (Well, I needed easier access to it, anyway.) I've been on a truffle oil kick lately since I discovered how remarkably delicious it is. Who knew? (Well, lots of people, but I guess they simply forgot to tell me.) ;) Servings adjusted according to course and times are estimated.

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 stalk fresh rosemary, chopped
1 teaspoon truffle oil (white or black)

When al dente, drain pasta, toss with onion, garlic and rosemary.
Add parmesan and toss again.

Tips:

Choose the right pasta: For this recipe, it's best to use a long, thin pasta like spaghetti or linguine. This will help the sauce coat the pasta evenly.
Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be sure to take it out of the water a minute or two before it's fully cooked. This will help it retain its texture and prevent it from becoming mushy.
Use fresh seafood: If you can, use fresh seafood for this recipe. It will have a much better flavor than frozen seafood.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the seafood, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent it from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
Use a good quality truffle oil: Truffle oil is the key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use a good quality oil. Look for an oil that is made with real truffles and that has a strong, earthy flavor.

Conclusion:

This seafood pasta with truffle oil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of seafood, truffle oil, and white wine creates a rich and flavorful sauce that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special meal to make, be sure to give this recipe a try.
