    A sterile egg yolk in a red bowl being combined with parmesan cheese and black truffle sauce.

    Place a sterile egg yolk in a red bowlcite: 1, then add parmesan cheese and two spoons of black truffle saucecite: 1. Mix the ingredients together thoroughly to form a rich seasoning base for the pastacite: 1.

    Tip: Ensure the bowl and utensils are completely clean and dry before combining the yolk and truffle sauce.

    Using a wooden spoon, gently stir and combine the egg yolk, parmesan cheese, and black truffle sauce directly inside the red bowl until well incorporated.

    Tip: Mix gently to avoid breaking the yolk prematurely before it blends smoothly with the cheese and sauce.
  3. 3Boil the spaghetti
    Spaghetti cooking in a pot of boiling water seasoned with salt and olive oil.

    Fill a black pan with water, add a little salt and olive oil, bring to a boil, and add the spaghetti to cook for 8 minutes before removing it for later use.

    Tip: Adding olive oil to the boiling water helps prevent the spaghetti strands from sticking together.
  4. 4Stir-fry the bacon
    Bacon pieces sizzling and frying in a black pan over heat.

    Heat oil in a pan and add chopped bacon pieces. Stir-fry over medium-low heat until the bacon is fully colored and rendered.

    Tip: Cook over medium-low heat so the bacon renders its fat evenly without burning.
  5. 5Sauté garlic with bacon
    Garlic slices and bacon frying together in a pan.

    Add garlic slices to the cooked bacon in the pan and continue to stir-fry until the garlic becomes fragrant.

    Tip: Add the garlic after the bacon has started rendering to prevent the garlic from burning and turning bitter.
  6. 6Add mushrooms

    Add sliced mushrooms into the pan alongside the bacon and garlic, and stir-fry until the mushrooms are completely cooked.

    Tip: Sauté the mushrooms until they release their moisture and brown slightly for maximum flavor.
  7. 7Add cooked spaghetti

    Add the pre-cooked spaghetti directly into the pan containing the stir-fried mushrooms and baconcite: 1. If the mixture feels too dry, pour in a little hot water to moisten it, then add a pat of butter to help build a rich and glossy saucecite: 1.

    Tip: Adding a splash of hot water along with butter helps emulsify the pan juices into a smooth sauce that coats the noodles evenly.
  8. 8Add Butter to Thicken Sauce

    Add a piece of butter into the pan with the pasta and other ingredients to help create a rich and thick sauce.

    Tip: Make sure the heat is low so the butter melts smoothly and emulsifies with the pasta water.
  9. 9Season with Black Truffle Sauce and Pepper
    Black truffle sauce and freshly ground black pepper being incorporated into the pasta pan.

    Add the black truffle sauce and a sprinkle of black pepper into the pasta mixture in the pan, then stir everything well to combine.

    Tip: Adjust the amount of black truffle sauce to match your flavor preference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Using just the sterile egg yolk provides a much richer texture and creamier sauce coating without watering down the flavor. Whole eggs tend to make the sauce thinner and increase the risk of curdling.
Pasta water contains natural starches released during boiling. When combined with butter and cheese, these starches emulsify into a glossy, cohesive sauce that clings perfectly to the spaghetti strands.
Yes, button mushrooms, cremini, portobello, or shiitake mushrooms all work wonderfully well in this recipe depending on your personal preference.
