Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently over low heat with a splash of cream or pasta water to loosen the sauce.

Sauté mushrooms until well browned to develop their full flavor.

Add truffle oil sparingly—it’s potent and best used as a finishing touch.

Reserve pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
