Truffle Pappardelle Pasta

I have been received many requests to post more recipes on carbs over social media lately. I was excited to test this recipe out and have been wanting to play with truffle- tis' the season! The result was out of this world, and I used minimal ingredients. It's amazing how flavorful food can be with just a few spices.

Before you go ahead and make this recipe, I highly recommend that you purchase a few ingredients. First, is the Olea Essence Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This brand produces authentic, and delicious oil freshly made in Israel. I swear by it!

Second, is the Cipriani Pappardelle pasta. It is organically farmed, which is a healthier alternative to most traditional pastas. You can find it at your local supermarket or on Amazon.

Lastly, are the Black Truffle Slices, it really enhances the flavor for the pasta. You can purchase it here-
