black truffle is a completely different experience. White truffle is incredibly powerful and heady.
I used half a can of the Urbani white truffle and mushrooms ($9.99 per 6 oz at local grocery store) in place of real truffles. It was great. Probably not as good as real truffle, but I was not spending $210 per oz for actual truffles this weekend.
Loads of salt needed
I prepared this recipe to the letter and it turned out perfectly. An outstanding blend of flavors. The sauce is so creamy and delicious. Love the addition of truffles. Another bonus is that this is so easy to make; dinner is on the table in minutes once the pasta has cooked to 'al dente'. I will prepare this pasta for a very long time!
