  • 1 Tsp Truffle Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Flour

Instructions

  1. In a medium pot over high heat boil water for the shell pasta (or any pasta). Cook pasta per directions on packing for approximately 8-11 minutes. Strain and set aside.
  2. Wash smoked morel mushrooms carefully and slice lengthwise before placing in a bowl.

  4. Using the same saucepan melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat then add the quinoa flour. Whisk together until well mixed with the melted butter for approximately 2 minutes.
  5. Add milk slowly while continuously whisking the flour/ butter mixture until smooth with no lumps.
  6. Add the goat cream cheese and whisk until the mixture is smooth and the sauce thickens approximately 3-4 minutes. Season with truffle salt and cracked pepper to taste.
  7. Add cooked pasta and stir until pasta is well coated in sauce. Add morel mushrooms and combine until mixed.
  8. Scoop the pasta into a large bowl and add small chunks of smoked gouda pieces. Mix and serve in a bowl, drizzle with truffle oil and enjoy!
