To give your basic microwave popcorn an umami upgrade and infuse it with a garlicky, peppery essence, simply add some melted truffle butter to the popcorn, like Ina Garten does.

The truffled popcorn recipe in Garten’s cookbook "Barefoot Contessa How Easy Is That?" suggests following the microwave preparation instructions on the popcorn's package first.

As the kernels pop, melt 2 ounces of white truffle butter on the stovetop. Finally, once the popcorn is ready, pour it into a large bowl and toss it with the butter and some salt.
