Fettuccine with Mascarpone and Egg
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for serving
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 pound imported dried fettuccine
- Fill a stockpot with 6 quarts of water, cover, and bring to a boil.
- In a medium stainless steel bowl, beat the eggs with the mascarpone, 1/2 cup Parmigiano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Set aside.
- Add 3 1/2 tablespoons salt to the boiling water and add the fettuccine.
- Cover partially just until the water returns to a boil, then uncover, stir the pasta, and cook until al dente.
- While the fettuccine is cooking, carefully hold the metal bowl just slightly over the boiling water to warm the egg and cheese mixture, stirring occasionally.
- When the fettuccine is cooked, drain and add it to the bowl; toss well.
- Serve immediately, passing the extra Parmigiano at the table.
