The simple dish is the perfect combination of mushroom and truffles

One good thing that came about from the coronavirus pandemic, which forced everyone to hunker down months, is that we were able to re-examine our relationship with our own kitchens. After spending much of our time at home, the decision was simple—order food online every day or spice up your weekly meals with home-cooked dishes?

With this new normal, some of our favourite dining spots have been sharing their signature recipes online to encourage this cooking trend. One such restaurant is PS.Cafe, which launched a collection of simple dishes you can easily make at home.

Take, for example, the creamy truffle mushroom spaghetti, cooked using easy-to-find ingredients such as mushrooms, baby spinach, dried spaghetti and PS.Cafe’s own brand of white truffle oil (which you can buy online and at selected outlets).
