Tasty, Tempting, Truffles!
Here at the spa we have a lot to be thankful for: getting to spend time in such a beautiful part of our beautiful city, being surrounded by the wonderful scents of our aromatherapeutic products, the pride of knowing our products are good for skin and good to the planet...but there's nothing we're more thankful for than our wonderful clients- one of whom forwarded us her amazing recipe for Pappardelle with White Truffles and Porcini because she loves our Creme Luxe White Truffle Face Cream so much. And because we're feeling generous we've decided to share it with you....we're invited over for the dinner party, right?
Papardelle with Truffles and Porcini:
1 1/4 lbs fresh papardelle pasta
1 can Urbani White Truffles and Procini (6 oz size)
Dried Porcini Mushrooms (obtain from Urbani or other specialty store)
3 -5 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh chopped Italian parsley
1-1 1/2 cups chicken stock/broth
salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup freshly ground Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Prepare the mushrooms: in a bowl, add 1-2 handfuls dried procini mushrooms, cover mushrooms with hot water and allow to rehydrate for about 30 min. Reserve all liquid, remove mushrooms and gently squeeze out liquid into bowl. You can leave the mushrooms whole or chop coarsely. Set aside.
Prepare Sauce: In a large skillet heat the oil, add garlic and cook until golden(2 min). Add half the mushrooms to hot oil and toss. As mushroom wilt a bit, continue to add remaining mushrooms. Stir/cook until all mushroom liquid evaporates.
Add the butter, chicken stock/broth,remaining mushroom liquid from bowl, simmer. Mix well, then add the entire can of White Truffles/Porcini Sauce.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile cook the fresh pasta in salted water, drain well and either add to the skillet and toss well in the sauce, or place in a serving bowl and add sauce to the pasta and toss well.
Add the parsley and cheese, mix well and serve
This dish has a velvety texture, with layers of flavor. Serve with a chilled Prosecco wine and simple salad. Perfeto!
Buon Appetito!

Why White Truffles?
B Vitamins have been scientifically proven to smooth wrinkles and reduce acne. They've also been shown to help combat hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. White truffles contain some of the highest concentrations of B Vitamins found in nature. Because they are in such high demand from gourmands (and skin care gurus) white truffles often cost up to $3,500 dollars a pound, so we're incredibly proud to offer our highly concentrated (a 2 oz jar lasts 4 to 6 months), ultra-rich, Creme Luxe White Truffle Face Cream for $72 dollars... a bargain almost as rare as White Truffles themselves. We often hear from clients that their Creme Luxe use has resulted in an even skin tone and luminosity so noticeable that they are able to drastically cut back or even stop using foundation!
