Techniques
- yellow chip pasta
- granapadano
- 1 whole egg yolk
- bacon
- peas
- garlic
- chili
- parsley
- creme fraiche
Put the pasta into boiling water in a pot; this pasta takes eight minutes to cook. A large pot is better than a small one.
- olive oil
Heat a touch of olive oil in the pan and spread the bacon across it flat to crisp.
- 3 whole mushrooms
Add the mushrooms, not sliced too thinly, and spread them out to take some colour.
Mushrooms, salt and chilli
Grate grana padano over the egg yolk, add a generous spoon of creme fraiche, and mix.
- pasta water
Turn to medium-low heat and add pasta water to revive the pan; the host warns the garlic, bacon and chilli burn without liquid added earlier.
Add the pasta to the pan with a little pasta water and mix; add the egg mixture, turn the gas down and cook the egg through, adding the rest of the creme fraiche.
