Mushroom Carbonara Pasta with egg dressing

Mushrooms take the place of the traditional cured pork in this vegetarian carbonara recipe—but fear not, the dish does not lack depth of flavor! A deep browning on the mushrooms, coupled with garlic and shallots, brings the humble button mushroom to a higher place.

Kosher salt

1½ lb. crimini or button mushrooms

6 garlic cloves

2 medium shallots

1 cup parsley leaves with tender stems (about ½ bunch)

5 large egg yolks

1 large egg

4 oz. store-bought pre-grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

1½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper, plus more

1 lb. orecchiette
