Instructions
  1. Boil Orecchiette in well salted water. Add all peas and asparagus about 1 minute before pasta is al dente. Reserve a little pasta water and drain. Do not rinse.
  2. In a sauté pan, heat a touch of oil over medium high heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent. Add Chanterelle mushrooms and turn heat down to medium and sauté for a few minutes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Add arugula and mix until wilted. Add pasta and vegetables.
  3. Whisk egg in a small bowl and then stir in a touch of the hot pasta water to temper the egg.
  4. Pour egg over the pasta and gently stir to coat the pasta. Stir in freshly grated Parmesan, cracked pepper and more reserved pasta water as need to loosen the pasta.
