Truffles are a type of fungi that can be eaten all year round and there are many varieties, some more expensive and rare than others. No matter the variety however, the truffle aroma is unmistakably pungent and is a highly prized ingredient in the kitchen. It is often referred to as ‘the diamond of the kitchen.’ Due to it’s popularity in the kitchen, it has now been made into oils, pastas, meats, cheeses and much more.
Here at Diforti we offer a range of truffle infused products, including the Truffle Tagliatelle in today’s recipe. Although truffle can be eaten at any time of the year, in the UK it is a very Autumnal ingredient and is used during the colder months. It pairs well with earthy ingredients such as mushrooms, thyme & nuts.

- Parmesan Cheese
- Mushrooms of your choice (about 2 cups worth, sliced)
- 1/4 cup of Walnut Halves
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted Butter
- Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper to your taste
- White Truffle Extra Virgin Olive Oil (optional)
