250g fettuccini or similar pasta
1 tsp salt
2 egg yolks
1 1/2 rashers of bacon
4 tbsp grated parmesan cheese, heaped
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1. Bring to the boil a large pot of water and add salt. Add the pasta and cook until done.
2. While the pasta is cooking, fry (SAUTE/BROWN) the bacon. Remove from the heat and set aside, do not discard the fat or oil.
3. In a bowl, combine the two egg yolks and set aside.
4. Once the pasta is cooked, use a pair of tongs to move the pasta to the bacon in the frying pan and turn up the heat, don’t worry about the excess water as this will cook off. Mix the bacon and oil through the pasta, ensuring that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
5. Once the pasta is coated in the oil, add the egg yolks and the parmesan cheese and fold through the pasta.
Add a bit of pepper and enjoy.
