This mushroom fettuccine with truffle with easily takes you back to Italy. Italian food is one of my favorites and I am a huge pasta lover. The combination of mushroom and truffle is divine. So flavorful, yet light. I used coconut cream to keep this recipe dairy free and lighter. This recipe is also ideal during this time and has incredible immune boosting properties. Thyme is packed with vitamin C and is a good source of vitamin A. If you feel a cold coming on, thyme can help get you back in good health. I added shiitake mushrooms into the mix as they contain beta-glucans that boost the immune system. Using the combination of garlic, onion and mushrooms will boost the immune system and fight inflammation. Enjoy with a glass of wine and picture you are in a cute little town in Tuscany! xx
