Provided by Marc Murphy

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces pancetta or thick bacon, diced
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (2 1/2 ounces) freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 pound spaghetti

Steps:

In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the pancetta and cook until it is browned and the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and keep warm.
In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, cheese, and pepper until uniform. Set aside.
Fill a large pot with water and add enough salt so the water tastes like seawater. Bring the water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the directions on the package until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking liquid.
Drain the pasta, transfer to the bowl with the egg mixture and add the pancetta, along with all the fat from the pan. Toss the pasta with the egg-cheese mixture and the pancetta until the eggs are cooked and the pasta is coated and creamy, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

Steps:

Peel the potatoes, cut into small 1/2 in (1.25 cm) dice. Peel and slice the onion. De-rind and chop the bacon. Grease an oven-proof dish. Mix the potatoes, onion and bacon in a bowl, and put into the dish, seasoning well with the salt and pepper. Add the hot milk (enough to come halfway up the dish) and dot with the butter.
Bake in a hot oven (400F/200C/Gas mark 6), covered with a lid or foil for 45 minutes-1 hour, until the potatoes are cooked and all the milk is absorbed.
Break each egg into a cup. Remove the dish of potatoes from the oven, make two hollows in the top of the potatoes with a spoon, and slip the raw eggs into the hollows. Return the dish to the oven for 6-8 minutes until the eggs are set. Serve at once.
