Chef's Tip
When adding the egg yolks to the pasta, be careful to not overcook them, as they can curdle into scrambled eggs. Cook, stirring constantly, only until heated through and then immediately remove the pot from the heat.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the orecchiette

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the orecchiette and cook until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, reserving ½ cup pasta cooking water. Return the orecchiette to the pot, drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, and toss to keep the pasta from sticking.
While the water heats and the orecchiette cooks, prepare the panko.

2

Toast the panko

  • Strip the rosemary leaves from the stem; finely chop enough leaves to measure 1 teaspoon.
In a dry large frying pan over medium heat, add the panko, rosemary, and thyme and toast, stirring occasionally, until the panko is lightly browned and fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
While the panko toasts, prepare the vegetables.

3

Prep and cook the vegetables

  • Trim the stem ends from the mushrooms. Cut the mushrooms into quarters; cut any large quarters into ½-inch pieces.
  • Strip the kale leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
  • Trim the stem ends from the Brussels sprouts; thinly slice the sprouts lengthwise.
In the same pan used for the panko, warm 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the kale and Brussels sprouts, season with salt and pepper, and cook until starting to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes.
While the vegetables cook, prepare the remaining ingredients.

4

Prep the eggs; finish the pasta

  • Working over a small bowl, separate the egg yolks from the whites; save the whites for another use. With a whisk or fork, lightly beat the yolks until blended.
  • Measure out ¼ cup Parmesan; set aside the rest for garnish.
To the bowl with the egg yolks, add the yogurt and ¼ cup Parmesan and stir to blend.
To the pot with the orecchiette, stir in the mushroom mixture, sherry vinegar, and mustard and cook over medium heat, stirring, until hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the egg yolk mixture and cook, stirring constantly, just until heated through, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat. If the sauce seems dry, add the reserved pasta cooking water 1 tablespoon at a time to loosen. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the orecchiette to individual bowls. Sprinkle with the panko and remaining Parmesan and serve.
