Picture for Truffle Pasta inspired by Broad City

1,472,317 views  In the final season of Broad City, when negotiating the terms of their relationship, Ilana and Lincoln describe a bowl of pasta in particularly explicit terms. As soon as I heard it, I knew I had to make it on the show. Okay yes, this was pretty much just an excuse for me to make some truffle pasta. And to use my giant wheel of parmesan for something other than snacking.
