Large handful of flat-leafed parsley, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon white miso
1 whole egg
3 egg yolks
40g Parmigiano Reggiano, or more if desired
Generous pinch of freshly cracked black pepper
20g fresh black truffle, more if desired (mainly grated into the sauce, some to be freshly shaved on top)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt to taste
Steps:
To make the “carbonara” sauce, whisk together the egg yolks, whole egg, white miso and black pepper together until homogeneous; generously grate Parmigiano Reggiano and black truffle then mix to taste; set aside
On a pan over medium-high heat add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then add the mushrooms once the pan is hot; allow to cook until the mushrooms release all their water and begin to brown (around 7-10 minutes), stirring occasionally; reduce heat to medium-low then add the finely diced leeks, shallots, and garlic and allow to sweat for 2 minutes whilst stirring; set aside
While the mushrooms are cooking, in a pot of salted water over high heat cook the pasta to 2 minutes less than its cooking instructions (just under al dente); save 1 cup of pasta water
Drain pasta and add to the mushroom mixture over medium-low heat together with ½ cup of pasta water, stirring constantly; cook until pasta is al dente and water has mostly evaporated; salt to taste and allow to cool for 2 minutes (the egg mixture will scramble if this is too hot)
Temper the egg mixture by whisking in ½ cup of warm pasta water slowly until homogeneous and no lumps are present, then incorporate into the cooled pasta mixture together with a handful of chopped parsley; turn the heat to very low and just warm the entire mixture whilst stirring constantly; taste and adjust with more salt and/or black pepper accordingly
To plate, place pasta into individual portions, then top with more grated Parmigiano Reggiano and chopped parsley; serve immediately and shave truffle on top at tableside
