1
Fill a large pot with water, season well with kosher salt, and bring to a boil.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together egg yolks, the whole egg, grated Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
3
In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, tossing to coat them with oil. Cook mostly undisturbed, tossing every 4-5 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden brown, about 13-16 minutes.
4
While the mushrooms are cooking, cook orecchiette in the boiling salted water until al dente, following the package directions. Before draining, reserve 2 cups of the pasta cooking liquid.
5
Once the mushrooms are browned, reduce the heat to medium-low, add minced garlic, chopped shallots, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the aromatics are softened but not browned, about 1 minute.
6
Add the cooked orecchiette and 1 cup of pasta cooking liquid to the mushroom mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often to absorb the liquid, for about 2 minutes.
7
Remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute. Gradually add the egg mixture to the pot, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon, adding more pasta cooking liquid as needed to loosen the sauce until it coats all noodles.
8
Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt to taste. Divide the pasta among bowls, top with more grated Parmesan and a few cranks of black pepper.
