Prep time 20 minute or less

 

• 1/2 lb diced Pancetta, coppa or guanciale
• 2 cloves chopped fine garlic
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups of Sunday Blend
• Olive oil
• Salt and black pepper
• 1 lb Spaghettoni, fettuccine or buccatini

In large saute pan add olive oil, garlic and coppa, guanciale or pancetta and saute until softened but not browned.

Cook pasta as per instruction until al dente, drain and add to saute pan of oil and coppa, guanciale or pancetta (reserve 1 cup of pasta water for later). Turn heat to low.

In separate bowl beat raw egg with about 1/2 of the grated cheese, salt and pepper.

Gently stir in egg mixture to pasta on low heat, tossing gently as not to break pasta but blending well and not letting the egg scramble. Add some pasta water here to make it creamy. Once heated through and creamy remove from heat.

Toss in remaining cheese, and add a bit more black pepper and serve immediately.
