Ingredients
serves 4; cooking time approximately 30 minutes
- 1 white onion, chopped finely
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 6-8 oz pancetta; or bacon, chopped into small squares
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Black Pepper & salt
- 3/4 – 1lbs of spaghetti, linguine, fettucini or bucatini
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ½ cup of parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
- olive oil
Procedures
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, until just crispy. Remove from skillet, leaving about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat behind.
- While cooking the bacon, bring a pot of water to boil. Cook the spaghetti al dente, and then drain. Toss with a little olive oil so the strands don’t stick together.
- Add the onion to the skillet once you remove the bacon. Cook for 5 minutes, until the onions are soft and translucent, and then add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add the drained spaghetti and the bacon back into the skillet with the onion and garlic. Toss the spaghetti noodles to coat it with the bacon and onion.
- Mix the beaten eggs with 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese in separate bowl. Remove the skillet from heat, and add the egg mixture to the spaghetti, stirring vigorously until the noodles are coated.
- Season the spaghetti with salt and a generous twist of fresh, ground black pepper. Split the contents of the skillet among four bowls and garnish with parsley.
