Mushroom Carbonara

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 10 oz cremini mushrooms sliced or torn
  • 6 oz oyster mushrooms torn into pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 cup Pecorino Romano finely grated, plus more for serving
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper plus more for serving
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms in a single layer and cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes until browned on one side.
  • Stir and continue cooking until deeply golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes total. Add garlic in the last minute. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Cook spaghetti in a large pot of well-salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.
  • In a bowl, whisk together whole eggs, egg yolks, grated Pecorino, and black pepper.
  • Add drained spaghetti to the mushroom skillet (off heat). Pour in the egg mixture and toss vigorously, adding pasta water a splash at a time until a creamy, glossy sauce forms.
  • Serve immediately with extra Pecorino and black pepper on top.
