This is an authentic recipe from the north of Italy. I made it for several friends who had this dish in Italy and top Italian restaurants in Montreal and enjoyed it very much.
Ingredients:
12 ounces spaghetti
6 ounces pancetta (italian bacon)
3 eggs, beaten and well mixed
2 tablespoons 35% cream
1 1/2 ounces parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
1 1/2 ounces butter
Directions:
1. Cook spaghetti in boiling water for about 8-10 minutes. Pasta should be al dente ; strain.
2. Dice in small pieces the pancetta or bacon, and fry in a pan until crispy.
3. Set aside.
4. In a bowl mix the beaten eggs, the parmesan, and the cream until homogenized.
5. In an non-stick pan, melt the butter at low heat.
6. Add the egg mixture, gently mix and as soon as the mixture thickens, add the bacon and spaghetti.
7. Toss gently to warm up the pasta and serve.
