PASTA WITH TRUFFLE CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- Cook the past in a tall pot of boiling water.
- Drain after reaching al dente (when there's a little bit of a bite to the texture of the pasta) -- spaghetti and fettucine about 6 minutes, penne and rigatoni about 9 minutes.
- While pasta is boiling, melt the butter in a large saucepan or frying pan with tall sides.
- Mix into the melted butter the Parmigiano cheese and cream.
- Add the cooked pasta, toss well, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Put the pasta mixture into a large serving bowl and grate the truffle over the pasta. You may also want to serve more truffles separately at the table for guests to add to their servings.
- Serve additional grated Parmigano cheese to pass around the table also.

Steps:
- Place escargots in a small bowl, and cover with cold water; set aside for 5 minutes. This will help to remove the canned flavor they may have.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Drain the water from the escargots and pat dry with a paper towel. Melt butter with the garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the escargots and mushroom caps; cook and stir until the mushroom caps begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk together wine, cream, flour, pepper, and tarragon in a small bowl until the flour is no longer lumpy. Pour this into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, and use a spoon to place the mushrooms upside down into the prepared baking dish. Spoon an escargot into each mushroom cap. Pour the remaining sauce over the mushroom caps and into the baking dish. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese overtop.
- Bake in preheated oven until the Parmesan cheese has turned golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Prepare the Persillade Butter: In the bowl of a food processor, add butter, garlic, shallots, parsley, chives, almond flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Blend until bright green and uniformly combined, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl and push down the parsley as needed. Makes 1 cup.
- To cool the butter: Place Persillade Butter on a square of plastic wrap. Roll into a log about the same diameter as the divots of the escargot dish; then wrap tightly, removing as much air as possible. Place in the refrigerator. (Persillade Butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and in the freezer for up to 1 month.)
- Escargots, part 1: Remove snails from the can and drain; discard the liquid. Escargot can be prepared with or without shells. With shells: Use a small spoon to push a snail into each shell; do not push too deeply, or the snails will be hard to retrieve. Without shells: Place one snail in each divot of an escargot dish.
- Escargots, part 2: Use an offset spatula to pack each snail shell with about 1 tablespoon of the Persillade Butter. Neatly level off the butter at the opening and place in the escargot dish, opening side up. (As the escargots bake, some of the butter will melt out of the shells and into the dish.)Without shells: It's best to use well-chilled Persillade Butter for escargots without shells. Unwrap the log of butter and slice about 1 tablespoon of butter per snail. Cover each snail with a slice of butter. Use a paring knife to trim away the top and bottom of each cherry tomato; then cut in half. Top each snail with a slice of cherry tomato. Place both escargot dishes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper (for easy clean-up). Roast in the oven until butter is foaming, 8-10 minutes.
- Remove escargots from oven. Serve hot with escargot forks (optional) and baguette slices.

- Remove snails and shells from sauce, and discard herbs sachet. Place snails in their shells and top with sauce. Bake 5 minutes, until sauce bubbles.
PASTA ESCARGOT
I had a dish like this in Paris, and was craving it today. So I tried to replicate it and it was really tasty! If you like escargot, give it a try. I got snails in a can (no fresh here in the US generally) in the tuna section of the supermarket. I do low carb, so I used Dreamfields Pasta, which is very good and tastes exactly like the regular stuff.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Look for fresh, high-quality escargot and truffles, as well as ripe tomatoes and herbs.
- Don't overcook the escargot: Escargot should be cooked until tender but still slightly chewy. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Be generous with the truffle oil: Truffle oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount. It will add a rich, earthy flavor to the sauce.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and lose its flavor if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Escargot and Truffle Penne is a luxurious and flavorful pasta dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of escargot, truffles, and creamy sauce is sure to impress your guests. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a special meal to make, give Escargot and Truffle Penne a try. You won't be disappointed!
