Creamy, indulgent, and scrumptious Truffle Butter Mushroom Pappardelle that comes together in 30 minutes. A must-do on a special occasion.

February is all about love. This past Valentine’s Day, Mr. Honey and I decided to stay in, and I made this delicious Truffle Butter Mushroom Pappardelle. Although my husband dislikes mushrooms, he devoured this dish. It must be the truffle butter.

Today’s post is all about loving yourself. I know the days leading up to Valentine’s Day can be especially hard. Believe me, I’ve spent many Valentine days alone, but you know what’s worse than being single? Being in a relationship and still feeling alone. It’s normal to get down around Valentine’s Day, but just remember to never settle for less than you deserve. Love doesn’t always come easy, and some of us wait a little longer to get there, but trust the process. If anything, I hope my story helps you BELIEVE in love a little more.

So today, and every other day… celebrate yourself. That could mean so many different things, but for me loving myself looks like this:

enjoying a cup of masala chai (surprise)
Watching an Indian or Chick Flick movie
Watching The Bachelor (my guilty pleasure)
Cooking something exciting
Baking from scratch
Lighting a scented candle
Grabbing coffee and dessert with a friend
Spoiling myself with a gift
Spending the entire day in New York City – when I can
Sitting on my swing and destressing
Taking an afternoon nap
Reading your DMs on Insta and smiling – you guys make me happy with your sweet messages

And now sharing this delicious and slightly healthier version of Truffle Butter Mushroom Pappardelle. My version is made without cream, however, I do use milk and truffle butter, of course. Oh yes, and it’s Mr. Honey approved.

how to make truffle butter mushroom pappardelle recipe step by step?

Prep

1. Begin by boiling a pot of water.
2. Chop the garlic, green chilies, shallots, and thinly slice the mushrooms.

Cook

1. Heat up a pan on medium heat, once hot, add oil and unsalted butter.
2. Once the butter and oil melts, add the green chilies and garlic. Saute for 30 seconds.
3. Add the shallots and cook down for 3 minutes, stirring often.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms and season with salt. Saute for 3-4 minutes until soft.

5. While the mushrooms saute, cook the pasta, follow the instructions on the packet. I prefer using pappardelle, linguine or spaghetti would work too.
6. Add flour and cook for 1 minute.
7. Slowly add the milk else it will curdle.

8. Stir well.
9. Add the truffle butter.
10. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir well.
11. Let the sauce heat up for 3-4 minutes. It’ll thicken slightly.

12. Once the pasta boils, add it to the cream sauce.
13. Toss gently.
14. This is what you should have.
15. Top with grated parmesan cheese.

16. Garnish with chives.
17. Serve immediately. Truffle Butter Mushroom Pappardelle should be served hot!
