Method

Cook the pasta in a large pan of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain lightly, reserving a cup of the cooking water.
Heat the butter and oil in a deep frying pan, then add the mushrooms, half the rosemary and a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry over a medium-high heat until the mushrooms are golden brown, then add the garlic and fry for 1 minute more.
Add the wine to the mushrooms, bubble for a minute, then stir in the crème fraîche, truffle oil and most of the parsley. Toss the pasta with the mushrooms in the pan to coat in the sauce, then add 1-2 splashes of pasta cooking water until it’s silky and saucy.

Serve the pasta and mushrooms with the burrata on a platter to share (or divide between 2 plates), topped with the shaved truffle, grated cheese, remaining herbs and an extra drizzle of olive oil.
