Porcini & Black Truffle Linguine
Carb lovers, this one's for you!
If you're a loyal follower you'll know that all our restaurant monthly specials (or slightly edited versions) you can enjoy at home too - all ingredients are available here online and from the shops, ok we do not stock fresh summer truffle, but we have alternative suggestions for you.
You'll need:
75g of bacon
30ml pomace oil
100g of fresh or dried porcini
10g butter, Pepe Saya is the best!
30g egg yolk
75ml cream
A splash of the pasta water
20g grated parmesan
1g porcini powder
Method (sauce)
Fry bacon in a hot pan until nicely coloured. Add the porcini and the butter, turn down the heat so the butter doesn't burn. Once the porcini is nicely coloured add a bit of the pasta water and linguine. Heat until the water starts to bubble a little. Mix through the cream, truffle paste and egg yolk then pour into the water - mix quickly with a spatula and keep stirring until it begins to thicken. Take off the heat.
Twist the pasta into a bowl with tongs and pour the sauce over generously. Sprinkle with grated parmesan and porcini powder. Serve immediately!
