Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 1/2 pound pancetta, diced
- 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus additional cheese for grating
- 4 large eggs, separated
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add pasta, and cook until al dente, about 7 to 9 minutes.
- Just before the pasta is cooked, fry the pancetta in a large skillet until it is crisp and golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Drain the pasta well, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
- Carefully pour it into the skillet, then add the pasta, and heat, shaking the pan, for 1 minute.
- Add the grated cheese, the egg whites and pepper, and toss until they are fully incorporated.
- Divide the pasta among 4 heated serving bowls, and make a nest in the center of each.
- Gently drop an egg yolk into each nest, season with additional black pepper, and grate additional cheese on top.
- Serve immediately.
