minutesIngredients
350g Wholewheat Spaghetti
200g Pancetta
4 Eggs
100g Pecorino Romano Cheese
Handful Chopped Parsley
Ground Black pepper
Directions
- Boil pasta in salted water for 10min (al dente)
- Cook Pancetta in a frying pan (no oil) over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
( I like to brown pancetta, making it crispy) - In a mixing bowl beat 4 eggs, add cheese, black pepper & parsley ( no need for salt as pancetta is salty)
- Add pasta to a frying pan with the pancetta, pour the mixture into the pan, and mix very quickly before the egg scrambles. The hot oil from the pancetta will cook the eggs and melt the cheese creating a creamy texture.
