Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Mafaldine Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add 'nduja and cook, stirring continuously, until it becomes fragrant and slightly crispy.

  3. 3

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the drained mafaldine to the skillet with the 'nduja. Toss to coat the pasta in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to achieve a creamy consistency.

  4. 4

    Add Egg Yolks

    Remove the skillet from heat, then quickly stir in the egg yolks, mixing thoroughly to create a rich and creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them over the pasta before serving. Enjoy your delicious mafaldine with 'nduja, egg yolk, and chives!
