Pasta Carbonara with Pancetta
1/2 pound piece of Pancetta
4 cloves of garlic
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup dry white wine
2 large eggs
1/2 cup freshly grated Romano
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
A healthy grinding of coarse black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat leafed parsley
1 pound cooked spaghetti or buccatini, drained and hot
Cut a 1/2 pound piece of pancetta. Crush and peel the
garlic. Put the garlic in a small sauté pan with the
extra virgin olive oil and sauté until it turns deep
gold. Remove the garlic from the pan and put in the
strips of pancetta. Cook them until they begin to crisp
on the edges. Add the wine. Cook the wine down for 2
minutes. Break the eggs into a pasta serving bowl. Beat
them lightly with a fork. Then add the Romano,
Parmigiano-Reggiano, pepper and parsley. Mix thoroughly.
Add drained, hot pasta to the bowl and toss rapidly to
coat the strands well. Add the Pancetta and wine. Toss
again and
serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings
