Ingredients

Crispy smoked pancetta, golden brown sausage meat, wild mushrooms, parmesan, egg yolks, and black pepper - name a more delicious sounding pasta sauce!

Method

Start by cooking the pancetta, starting in a cold pan and turning the heat up to medium - this renders out all the fat. Once the pancetta is golden and crispy, remove it with a slotted spoon.

Add the sausage meat to the same pan, and again cook until golden and crispy and remove with a slotted spoon. Finally, add the mushrooms.

This is a good time to start cooking your pasta. Reserve a good amount of pasta water once the pasta is cooked.

Add the sausage and pancetta back to the same pan, then deglaze with a splash of pasta water. Scrape everything up from the bottom, then turn off the heat.

Combine the egg yolks, parmesan, and black pepper.

Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the pan along with the egg mixture and pasta water. Mix everything until well combined and a glossy sauce is formed. Plate up with more parmesan and black pepper, and enjoy!
