• 1 pound assorted exotic Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• 1 pound fresh fettuccini Pasta
• Drizzle of white truffle oil
• 3 ounces freshly grated Romano Cheese

4. Continue to saute for 1 minute. Place the Pasta in the pot of boiling water and cook until al dente, about 4 to 5 minutes.
5. Remove the Pasta from the water and drain completely. Turn the Pasta in to a mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper.
6. Toss the Pasta with the sauteed corn and Mushrooms, reserved pancetta, drizzle of white truffle oil, Cheese and basil.
7. Divide the Pasta evenly between four plates.
