Ingredients

  • Pokka Cold-Smoked Ground Reindeer – 240g

  • 300 g pappardelle or fettuccine pasta (10.5 oz)

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 4 dl heavy cream (1 2/3 cups)

  • 1 1/2 cups grated Pecorino Romano cheese

  • 2 eggs

Directions

  • Cook Pasta: Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Make Egg Mixture: Beat eggs in a bowl, then mix in black pepper and grated Pecorino Romano (reserve a handful for garnish). Stir in the cream if a silkier texture is desired.
  • Prepare Reindeer: In a sauté pan, heat olive oil and butter. Add the smoked reindeer and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add the drained pasta and sauté together for another 2 minutes.
  • Combine and Serve: Remove from heat. Quickly mix in the egg-cheese mixture until it coats the pasta evenly without scrambling. Plate immediately and sprinkle with reserved Pecorino.
