Cannabis-Infused Truffle Oil & Regret Carbonara
(the pasta that looked you dead in the eye and said “hold my morals”)
Silky, porky, black-pepper-crusted, and wearing a criminal 12 mg THC truffle-oil veil that turns the world’s most perfect dish into a full-blown out-of-body felony. One bowl = the official pasta of “I just proposed to the noodles.”
Servings: 2 very generous bowls (or 1 if you’re done pretending)
THC per bowl: 12 mg (dead-on)
Total time: 25 minutes active + 7 days of infusion therapy
CANNABIS INFUSION: 12 mg THC TRUFFLE OIL
500 ml (2 cups) real white-truffle extra-virgin olive oil (or the strongest synthetic truffle oil you can find)
5 g finely ground decarboxylated 18–20% THC flower (≈ 320 mg usable THC total batch)
Decarboxylation
- oven exactly 240 °F
- 5 g ground flower spread razor-thin on parchment
- 40 minutes exactly → cool completely
Infusion (water-bath, no shortcuts)
1. Fill pot with water, bring to low simmer
2. Pour entire 500 ml truffle oil into a clean 1-liter mason jar, place jar in water bath
3. Heat until fully liquid
4. Add cooled decarbed weed, lid loose
5. Hold water temperature 185–195 °F for exactly 3 hours, gentle swirl every 30 minutes
6. Remove jar, rest 10 min
7. Double-strain while hot: first through 4 layers damp cheesecloth (twist gently), then through coffee filter
8. Cool to room temp → crystal-clear with a faint green whisper and truffle aroma that could start a cult
Yield ≈ 480 ml → every tablespoon (15 ml) = exactly 12 mg THC
CARBONARA INGREDIENTS (for 2 bowls)
12 oz dried spaghetti (de cecco or bust)
8 oz guanciale or pancetta cut into ¼-inch lardons
4 very fresh egg yolks (room temp)
1½ cups finely grated Pecorino Romano (plus extra)
1 cup finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano
2 tbsp (24 mg total) THC truffle oil
2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper (coarse, like your soul)
reserved starchy pasta water (you’ll need ~1 cup)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Bring 4 qt aggressively salted water to a rolling boil. Drop spaghetti, cook 1 minute shy of package (usually 8–9 min).
2. While pasta cooks, crisp the guanciale in a large skillet over medium until the fat renders and the edges look like burnt love letters (6–8 min). Kill heat.
3. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, both cheeses, cracked pepper, and the 2 tbsp THC truffle oil until it looks like yellow cement.
4. Reserve 1½ cups pasta water. Drain spaghetti (do NOT rinse).
5. Toss hot pasta into the warm guanciale pan off-heat for 20 seconds to temper.
6. Pour the egg-cheese-truffle mixture over the pasta. Add splashes of hot pasta water while tossing vigorously with tongs until the sauce turns glossy and clings like a toxic ex (30–60 seconds).
7. If it gets too thick, more pasta water. Too thin? You fucked up, add more cheese off-heat.
8. Divide into two warmed bowls. Extra pecorino blizzard + another crack of pepper.
9. Hand the fork to the person who swears “I only smoke flower.” Watch them take one bite, eyes roll back, and whisper “…the pepper just spoke fluent Italian.”
PRO TIPS
- The THC truffle oil lives forever in a dark bottle and only gets more dangerous.
- Lighter dose? Date someone boring instead.
- If the walls start breathing in perfect 4/4 time and you suddenly understand the emotional complexity of cured pork, congratulations; you just achieved carbonara enlightenment.
Equal parts guanciale, cheese, black pepper, and the overwhelming urge to text your ex in Latin at 2 a.m.
