Notes
Cooking Tips for the Best Results:
- For best results, use leftover Alfredo pasta that has been cooked al dente. This will help to prevent the pasta from becoming overcooked and mushy.
- If you don’t have truffle oil, you can substitute another flavorful oil, such as olive oil or garlic oil.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the pasta. If the pan is too crowded, the pasta will steam rather than cook evenly.
- If you’re using a wok, be sure to heat it up until it is very hot before adding the oil and pasta. This will help to create a nice sear on the pasta.
- If you want to add a bit of protein to this dish, you could add some cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
