Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups 1/4-inch diced pancetta
  • 5 organic large eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 pound bucatini
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped Italian parsley, for garnish

Directions

In a medium saute pan over medium heat, cook the pancetta until tender-crisp. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Reserve the pan with the drippings.

Separate 4 of the eggs and set the yolks aside. Discard the 4 whites. Crack the fifth egg and add it to the yolks.

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 2/3 of the pancetta, the Parmigiano-Reggiano, black pepper and cayenne.

Cook the pasta until al dente. Add the peas when the pasta is just about finished and strain both into the reserved pancetta drippings. Reserve about 3/4 cup pasta water to fortify the sauce.

Add the egg mixture into the pasta and toss well with tongs for about 1 minute. Add the reserved pasta water to the bowl in 1/4 cup increments, combining and adding until desired sauce consistency is reached. Add the parsley and gently combine and place into a serving dish.

Garnish with the reserved pancetta.

    Absolutely delicious. I used low sodium bacon but did everything else as directed. No one could believe it wasn't loaded with cream and butter. The bucatini is fun but hard to find - got mine at Amazon. Thanks Guy!

    Simply delicious! Even my husband loved it and he normally prefers some sort of tomato based sauce. Definitely a keeper!
