Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Prepare the truffle sauce mixture
    A close-up of a small glass bowl containing a dark, textured black truffle and egg yolk mixture being stirred with a metal spoon.

    In a small bowl, combine two fresh egg yolks with a spoonful of aromatic black truffle sauce and a pinch of salt. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly until they are well incorporated into a smooth, rich sauce.

    Tip: Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better emulsification when they hit the hot pasta later.
  2. 2Sauté bacon and garlic
    Slices of bacon and garlic frying in a pan with melting butter.

    Heat a pan over medium heat and add a knob of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the bacon strips and sliced garlic to the pan. Sauté the ingredients until the bacon is slightly crispy and the garlic has released its fragrance.

    Tip: Keep the heat at medium to prevent the garlic from burning, which can turn bitter.
  3. 3Cook the mushrooms
    Sliced mushrooms, bacon pieces, and garlic slices cooking together in a pan.

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan with the bacon and garlic. Continue to cook over medium heat until the mushrooms are tender and have a lightly browned appearance.

    Tip: Do not crowd the pan to allow the mushrooms to sear rather than steam for better texture.
  4. 4Combine pasta and sauce

    Add the cooked spaghetti directly into the pan with the sautéed mushroom and bacon mixture. Immediately pour the prepared black truffle egg sauce over the hot pasta.

    Tip: Toss quickly to coat the noodles evenly before the residual heat cooks the eggs too rapidly.
  5. 5Toss and serve

    Using chopsticks, gently toss the pasta with the mushroom, bacon, and truffle egg mixture for about one minute until everything is well-combined and glossy. Serve immediately while hot.

    Tip: Serve immediately to maintain the creamy texture of the egg-truffle sauce before it sets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Using only the yolks provides a much richer, creamier sauce texture. Using whole eggs will result in a thinner, more liquid sauce.
The key is residual heat. Always turn off the heat before adding the egg mixture and toss vigorously so the heat of the pasta gently cooks the eggs into a silky sauce.
Cremini or button mushrooms work well due to their firm texture, but you can also use shiitake or porcini for a deeper, earthier flavor.
