Ingredients
Scale
- 1 8-ounce package lentil pasta
- 3 tablespoons truffle oil* (olive oil infused with truffle)
- 1 pound mixed mushrooms (enoki, shiitake, cremini, hen of the woods, maitake, or oyster), coarsely sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh (or dried) thyme
- 1 cup dry white wine** (i.e., Chardonnay)
- Sea salt, as desired (truffle salt is excellent)
- Freshly ground black pepper, as desired
Instructions

- While pasta is cooking, heat truffle oil in a large saute pan and add mushrooms, garlic, and thyme. Saute for 3 minutes.
- Add white wine and continue sautéing for an additional 5 minutes to reduce liquid and make a more concentrated sauce.

Notes
*You may substitute extra virgin olive oil instead of truffle oil, if desired.
**Substitute 7/8 cup vegetable broth and 2 tablespoons vinegar for white wine if desired.
