Recipes

Fill a large kettle with water and bring to a boil with the cover on.

Heat some Extra Virgin Olive oil in a frying pan.

In a bowl place egg, egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, fine chopped parsley & half of the Pecorino and whisk well.

Liberally salt the boiling water and drop the pasta; stir to coat so pasta cooks evenly, re-cover for about 1-2 minutes to allow the water to come back to a boil, then uncover again.

Add the pancetta to the pan and sauté until crispy.

Deglaze the pan with a 1/3 cup wine scraping the fond from the bottom of the pan.

Let wine reduce slightly too about 1/4 cup.

Remove from heat and mix in a lot of freshly ground pepper.

When the pasta is al dente remove 1/4 cup of the cooking water, drain the pasta and add to the bowl along with the wine reduction and toss twice to coat the pasta and incorporate the pancetta.

Add the egg mixture to the bowl and toss quickly and thoroughly. (The retained heat of the pasta will cook the eggs and thicken the sauce.)

If the sauce becomes too ‘thick’ then add some of the reserved cooking water until it becomes smooth and silky.

Sprinkle over the rest of the Pecorino and coarsely chopped Parsley

Serve immediately!
