Wild Mushroom Carbonara Recipe

Wild Mushroom Carbonara Directions

1. 1

   Cook the Pasta

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

2. 2

   Sauté the Mushrooms

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wild mushrooms and cook until they are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Prepare the Sauce

   In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, grated Parmesan cheese, and truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Combine Everything

   Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the mushrooms. Remove the skillet from heat and quickly pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing vigorously to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

5. 5

   Finish and Serve

   Fold in the smoked duck pastrami and chopped chives. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan and a drizzle of truffle oil.
