In a bowl you mix the two eggs, finely grated Parmesan cheese and salt and freshly ground black pepper. You whisk the hell out of it until it is thoroughly mixed. Meanwhile, while the pasta is cooking, you sauté the diced pancetta in butter and olive oil with a couple of crushed cloves of garlic. Once the pancetta starts to brown, you add the wine and let the mixture reduce to a few tablespoons. As soon as the pasta is cooked and drained, you immediately add it to the egg/cheese mixture and thoroughly toss it. This will cook the eggs and melt the cheese. You add the hot pancetta in liquid, minus the garlic, and some flat leaf parsley and mix it some more and serve. I have made this dozens of times and never encountered any uncooked egg in the dish. My kids love it so much, they’ve both learned to make it.you cook a lot of pasta. My wife isn’t a big fan of starches so pasta isn’t made a lot here.
do you scramble the egg? I’m honestly fascinated by this.
And yes, we do eat a lot of pasta. We pretty much have a starch at every meal. Pasta, rice, couscous, potatoes, etc. Pasta is the family favorite however.
