When cooked, add the heavy cream, truffle salt and fresh ground black pepper and bring to a simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve with a few drops of Fustini&rsquo,s White Truffle Oil.
- Season scallops with salt and pepper. Heat remaining Fustini&rsquo,s Delicate SELECT olive oil over high heat in a large skillet.
