Jo’s Truffle Trove Alfredo pasta

Truffle Trove, our extra mature Cheddar infused with Black Summer truffle, is “the best cheese in the world” according to our customer Jo, who messaged us on social media. And who are we to argue? Jo loves this indulgent cheese so much that she used it to invent what has become her family’s favourite dish, Truffle Trove Alfredo pasta – and we’re sharing it with you here. Delicious spooned over linguine, this rich, creamy and extra cheesy sauce is made with both Truffle Trove and Black Bomber, crushed garlic, double cream, chestnut mushrooms, chicken strips and pancetta. “Truffle Trove takes this sauce to the next level,” says Jo. Her whole family loves it – and now we do too.
