Ingredients
- 100 g pasta
- 2 spoonfuls black truffle sauce
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 piece butter
- 50 g bacon
- 2 cloves garlic
- 80 g mushrooms
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- to taste cheese
Instructions
- 1Prepare the truffle sauce mixture
In a small bowl, combine two spoonfuls of black truffle sauce, two egg yolks, and a pinch of salt, mixing them completely smooth with a spoon to form a rich base.
Tip: Make sure to mix the egg yolks and truffle sauce completely smooth before adding them to the pasta later. - 2Melt butter in the pan
Place a pan on the stove over medium heat and add a cube of butter, allowing it to melt completely across the base.
Tip: Keep the heat at medium so the butter melts without burning before you add the garlic and bacon. - 3Sauté bacon and garlic
Add sliced bacon and garlic into the melted butter, stir-frying continuously until the bacon renders and the garlic turns fragrant and golden.
Tip: Stir constantly to prevent the garlic slices from burning while the bacon cooks. - 4Add mushrooms
Tip sliced mushrooms into the pan with the bacon and garlic, cooking until they soften and absorb the savory pan juices.
Tip: Slice the mushrooms evenly so they cook at the same rate and brown nicely. - 5Add cooked pasta
Toss the freshly cooked pasta directly into the pan with the sautéed ingredients, ensuring the noodles mix well with the fats.
Tip: Reserve a small amount of pasta cooking water just in case you need to loosen up the sauce later. - 6Pour truffle and egg yolk sauce
Lower the heat and pour the prepared truffle egg yolk sauce over the pasta, tossing continuously for about a minute until glossy.
Tip: Turn off or lower the heat before pouring in the egg yolk mixture to keep it creamy and silky. - 7Grate fresh cheese
Grate fresh cheese directly over the hot pasta in the pan while finishing with a sprinkle of cracked black pepper.
Tip: Grate the cheese immediately while the pasta is piping hot so it binds better with the sauce.
