Lorenzo's Truffle Cream

By: The Moody Critic


Living in a house of pasta, I am seldom impressed of the pasta dishes cooked by various households and even by the most expensive of restaurants I've been to.

SIMPLE, yes, that's the word to describe it. Though it doesn't have any trace of that vibrant red of the everyday spaghetti nor the overflowing creamy sauce of the regular carbonara, it does have that unique richness and that perfect balance of flavors.

After indulging with this dish, it is expected that most people would try desperately to recreate it at home because the ingredients are seemingly simple and the dish itself looks easy to prepare. I, myself, was guilty of this act and believe me when I say that it is profoundly difficult to get that perfect balance of taste despite using the same ingredients. A simple discrepancy in the ratio of ingredients would result either to a totally different taste or a totally disastrous concept.

Though quite expensive for a pasta dish, I must say that its taste, quality, serving size, not to mention the warm customer service that Mamou provides would affirm its value.
