- serves 4
- 20 mins
- 400g spaghetti
- 6 medium eggs
- 1 block parmesan cheese
- panchetta (some)
- black pepper (assumed)
- grate all the parmesan into a mixing bowl
- add four egg yolks
- add two eggs
- mix until thick. add spare egg white if needed
- boil the pasta
- fry off pancheta - it shrinks a lot so add more than you need (remember to tip off oil)
- when the spaghetti is ready, strain it off but keep the water
- add the spaghetti back to the hot pan
- add two ladels of spaghetti water
- add the panchetta and egg & cheese mix
- keep mixing with a spoon until the mix goes thick.
if you leave it too long, it will curdle and go sticky
- scoop out into four bowls
- add pepper and a little parmesan
