Instructions

  1. 1

    Salt your water properly

    Boil pasta in generously salted water until al dente. Before draining, reserve 1 full cup of pasta water. This is not optional — it's what makes the sauce silky.

  2. 2

    Crisp the pancetta

    Cook pancetta in a pan over medium heat until golden and crispy. Add garlic clove, cook for 1 minute then remove it. Keep the rendered fat in the pan, that's flavour.

  3. 3

    Build your sauce

    Pour 100ml of Easy Eggs Liquid Egg Yolk into a bowl. Add freshly grated Parmesan and a very generous amount of cracked black pepper. Mix until combined.

  4. 4

    The critical moment

    Remove the pan from heat completely. Add drained pasta to the pancetta pan, then immediately pour the yolk mixture over it. Toss quickly and continuously, adding pasta water a splash at a time until you get a glossy sauce that coats every strand.

  5. 5

    Plate and serve

    Serve immediately with extra Parmesan and more cracked black pepper on top.
