-
To cook pastaBring a large saucepan of water to boil and cook pasta according to packet instructions.
-
To prepare sauceIn a mixing bowl, beat together the yolks, whole eggs, cream and cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Heat oil in a large frying pan and fry bacon for 1-2 minutes or until golden and crisp. Add maitake and garlic, and cook for a further 1 minute.
-
Once the pasta is cooked, drain immediately and tip into the hot frying pan. Turn off the heat and stir in the egg sauce until the eggs are lightly cooked. Serve immediately. (If the heat of the pasta doesn’t quite cook the egg sauce, turn on the heat and cook briefly, stirring. If you are using pasteurised egg, you can skip this step.)
