REVIEW: Pasta Evangelists Fettuccine with Black Truffle Alfredo

I love truffle, truffle mayo, truffle chips, Pasta Evangelists Black Truffle Mac & Cheese (review here) so when I saw another truffle dish I had to try it.

HOW IT COMES: The dishes I have chosen come in a recycled cardboard box with insolation.

ABOUT THE DISH: 'Whilst many have come to regard Alfredo sauce as an Italo-American creation, we can confirm that its true origins lie in Italy. This delicious, creamy sauce was the work of Alfredo di Lelio in early twentieth-century Rome. Di Lelio’s wife, Ines, was pregnant in 1908 and was suffering from severe nausea and so the worried restaurateur developed a new recipe, combining several different varieties of cheese wrapped around long strands of pasta, in the hope that his wife would be able to eat it. Praying to Saint Anna, the protector of pregnant women, Alfredo served up this dish and his prayer was answered!' - Pasta Evangelists

Fettuccine (180g):

Durum WHEAT Semola, WHEAT Flour, EGG, Natural Flavouring, Rice Flour

HOW TO MAKE:

1. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Salt the water (around ½tbsp per litre).

2. Cook the pasta in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Stir regularly to prevent sticking.

3. Whilst the pasta cooks, put the sauce in a pan. Take care to ensure you squeeze all the sauce from the pouch. Gently heat until steaming and then turn off the heat.

4. Lift the pasta out of the water and transfer to the sauce. Toss gently to coat.

5. Sprinkle over the Italian cheese. Serve immediately. Buon appetito!

I love the taste of this dish, it is not my favourite Pasta Evangelists dish that still is Pasta Evangelists Sicily's Famous Fennel Sausage Sauce with Fresh Rigatoni (blog post is here), back to this review, the pasta sauce tasted amazing.
