Since I will be covering The Oregon Truffle Festival from January 25-27, 2013, I wanted to share a recipe from last year. There is still space for some of the events in addition to the Marketplace on Sunday. Hope to see you there.

Sweat the sausage in olive oil with the onions and garlic.
Add the wine and then finally the onion nage. Reduce by half, add the cream and the butter.
Cook the pasta al dente in salted water, drain it well, toss it with the sauce while you are adding the parmesan cheese and a pinch of black pepper. Finish with fresh shaved white truffles and white truffle foam.
