Ingredients

• 2 handfuls wide pasta noodles
• 2 eggs
• 0.5 bowl crushed Parmesan cheese
• 1 spoonful black truffle sauce
• 1 purple onion
• 1 portion mushrooms
• 1 portion bacon pieces
• 1 sterile egg yolk
• to taste black truffle slices
• to taste chopped French onion decoration
• to taste sea salt
• to taste olive oil

Instructions

1. 1Prepare the black truffle base

   

   Crack the eggs into a bowl containing crushed Parmesan cheese and a spoonful of black truffle sauce, then stir vigorously to combine.

   Tip: Make sure to stir the mixture thoroughly until completely blended to achieve a smooth custard base.
2. 2Boil the pasta

   

   Cook the wide pasta noodles in a pot of boiling water seasoned with sea salt and olive oil for 5 minutes, reserving a couple of spoonfuls of the noodle water.

   Tip: Do not skip reserving the noodle water, as it helps emulsify the sauce later.
3. 3Slice the onions and mushrooms

   

   Dice the purple onion into small pieces and slice the mushrooms evenly on a wooden cutting board.

   Tip: Keep the onion pieces uniform so they cook evenly with the mushrooms.
4. 4Fry the bacon

   

   Add bacon pieces into a heated pan with oil and fry until they become fragrant and lightly browned.

   Tip: Render the bacon fat slowly over medium heat to build a rich flavor base for the dish.
5. 5Sauté mushrooms and onions

   

   Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onions directly into the pan with the fried bacon, stirring continuously until everything is fragrant.

   Tip: Cook until the mushrooms soften and absorb the bacon flavors.
6. 6Combine pasta and ingredients

   

   Transfer the cooked wide pasta noodles into the pan containing the bacon and mushroom mixture, tossing and stirring evenly.

   Tip: Ensure the noodles are thoroughly mixed with the contents of the pan before adding the sauce.
7. 7Add black truffle custard

   

   Pour the pre-made black truffle custard mixture directly into the pan over the cooked pasta.

   Tip: Make sure to turn off the fire before adding the custard to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
8. 8Emulsify the sauce

   

   Add two spoonfuls of reserved noodle soup into the pan and stir continuously with tongs to help emulsify the sauce using the residual heat.

   Tip: Stir vigorously so the starch from the noodle water blends smoothly with the custard.
