Start by dicing the falukorv.

Heat a pan and add a bit of neutral oil and butter.

Add the diced falukorv to the pan and let it fry until it gets some color.

While the falukorv is frying, chop the yellow onion.

After a few minutes, add the chopped onion to the pan with the falukorv and let it fry for about 4 minutes.

In a bowl, whisk together 1 whole egg, 3 egg yolks, and a splash of heavy cream.

Grate cheddar cheese on the coarse side and add it to the egg mixture, along with Grana Padano cheese grated on the fine side, reserving some for garnish.

Add a generous amount of black pepper to the egg and cheese mixture and mix with a fork.

Cook the macaroni according to package instructions and drain, saving some pasta water.

Once the macaroni is cooked, lower the heat on the pan with the falukorv and onion.

Add the drained macaroni to the pan and then add the egg and cheese mixture.

Stir quickly to combine, ensuring the heat is low to avoid scrambling the eggs.

If the mixture is too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water to achieve a creamy consistency.

Serve immediately, garnished with extra cheese, black pepper, and a drizzle of good olive oil.
