Serves 4
Ingredients
350g of dried spaghetti
1 tbsp of salt
6 rashers of pancetta or smoked streaky bacon
1 clove of garlic sliced
30g of butter
2 egg yolks
1/2 tsp of freshly ground black pepper
50g of grated Parmesan cheese
Here’s how
Cook the pasta for 9 minutes in salted boiling water.
Meanwhile cook the pancetta and garlic in a large non stick frying pan with a splash of olive oil.
When the pancetta is starting to crisp up add the butter and 1 ladle of the cooking water from the pasta.
When the pasta has cooked for 9 minutes use a pair of tongs to lift the pasta out and straight into the pan with the pancetta.
Add the egg yolks and stir together straight away so that the egg yolks can fully incorporate into the sauce to create a richness.
Season with a little black pepper and finish with grated parmesan cheese.
