Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb pancetta, diced into 1 inch cubes
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
6 eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup heavy cream, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 lb dry penne pasta
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Heat a large saute pan, until hot.
  • Add pancetta and saute until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes.
  • Season with black pepper and remove pan from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and cream.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in Parmesan, reserving 2 tablespoons for garnish.
  • In a large pot, boil 6 quarts of salted boiling water.
  • Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Drain pasta in a colander.
  • Do not rinse with water; you want to retain the pasta's natural starches so that the sauce will stick.
  • While the pasta is still hot, return it back to the pot.
  • Add the browned pancetta and mix well.
  • Add the cream mixture and coat the pasta completely.
  • It's important to work quickly while the pasta is still warm so that the cream mixture will cook, but not curdle.
  • Add remaining Parmesan and chopped parsley.
