Method
 

  1. Cook the Pasta
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add angel hair pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of the pasta water, then drain.
  2. Sauté the Shallots
    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add sliced shallots and sauté for 3–4 minutes, until soft and golden.
  3. Add Garlic & Wine
    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Pour in the white wine and simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  4. Toss the Pasta
    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet along with ¼ cup of reserved pasta water and Parmesan. Toss until the sauce lightly coats the noodles.
  5. Finish with Truffle Oil
    Remove from heat and drizzle in the white truffle oil. Toss gently to combine, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Garnish & Serve
    Sprinkle with fresh parsley, extra Parmesan, and a bit of lemon zest if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
