It’s rich, creamy and delightfully moreish.Prep time – 10 minsCooking time – 6 minsThe ingredients

  • Fresh mushrooms
  • Dried porcini mushrooms
  • Double cream
  • Truffle oil
  • White wine

The method

  1. Gently pan fry a handful of fresh mushroom and butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat
  2. As the mushrooms begin to soften add two cups of double cream and a large handful of dried porcini mushrooms
  3. Slowly, the sauce will begin to bubble, add a dash of truffle oil (be careful not to add too much – this stuff can be very strong!)
  4. Continue stirring throughout, before adding a drop of white wine (we would recommend Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc – but don’t go too overboard with this, you don’t want to lessen the flavour from the truffle oil)
  5. To finish, add a pinch of salt and serve with pasta or ravioli before sprinkling with pecorino cheese
