Servings: 4

Preparation duration: 10 minutes

Cooking duration: 20 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1-2 garlic cloves, minced, about 1 teaspoon (optional)

1 Tbsp olive oil or unsalted butter

1/2 pound pancetta or thick cut bacon, diced

1 cup grated parmesan or pecorino cheese

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 pound spaghetti pasta (or bucatini or fettuccine)

3-4 whole eggs

Equipment:

frying pan

pot

tongs

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

1 Put a large pot of salted water on to boil (1 Tbsp salt for every 2 quarts of water.) 2 While the water is coming to a boil, heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the bacon or pancetta and cook slowly until crispy. Add the garlic (if using) and cook another minute, then turn off the heat and put the pancetta and garlic into a large bowl. 3 In a small bowl, beat the eggs and mix in about half of the cheese.4 Once the water has reached a rolling boil, add the pasta, and cook, uncovered, at a rolling boil. When the pasta is al dente (still a little firm, not mushy), use tongs to move it to the bowl with the bacon and garlic. Move the pasta from the pot to the bowl quickly, as you want the pasta to be hot. It's the heat of the pasta that will heat the eggs sufficiently to create a creamy sauce. Toss everything to combine, then add the beaten eggs with cheese and toss quickly to combine once more. Add salt to taste.Serve at once with the rest of the parmesan and freshly ground black pepper. If you want, sprinkle with a little fresh chopped parsley.
