Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
12 slices thick-cut, applewood-smoked bacon
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup dry vermouth
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup whipping cream
4 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon fat in the skillet and discard the rest. Chop bacon when cool enough to handle.
  • Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and onion to reserved bacon fat in the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour vermouth into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, about 1 minute. Mix in chopped bacon.
  • Drain spaghetti, transfer to a large serving bowl, and mix in remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add bacon-onion mixture, Parmesan cheese, cream, eggs, and pepper to the hot pasta; stir until spaghetti is well coated and sauce is creamy.

Time 17m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb rigatoni pasta
salt
1/3 lb pancetta, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed
1/2 cup dry white wine (or chicken stock)
2 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated (plus more for sprinkling)
1/3 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 few grinds black pepper

Steps:

  • Place a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When water is rolling, add salt and pasta and cook to al dente, about 8 minutes, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.
  • While pasta cooks, heat large skillet over moderate heat. Saute pancetta in a drizzle of oil until it browns, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, and crushed pepper flake. Saute garlic 2 minutes.
  • Add wine or stock to the pan and reduce liquid by half, 2 minutes.
  • Beat together egg yolks, cheese, and while whisking vigorously, stir in a ladle of the boiling pasta water.
  • Beat in parsley and pepper and set aside.
  • Drain pasta.
  • Add pasta to pan with sauce.
  • Toss pasta with pancetta, then add egg mixture and toss 1 minute, then remove from heat. Continue to toss until sauce is absorbed by and thickly coating the pasta.
  • Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper and serve with extra cheese, for passing.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh eggs, good quality cheese, and flavorful bacon.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means cooking it until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Don't overcook the eggs. You want the eggs to be creamy and slightly runny, not scrambled.
  • Add the cheese and eggs to the pasta while it is still hot. This will help the cheese to melt and the eggs to cook evenly.
  • Season the pasta to taste. This may include adding salt, pepper, or additional grated cheese.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. This is a dish that is best enjoyed fresh.
