Yield: 2
Ingredients
- 80g black bean spaghetti (for U.S. option, click HERE)
- 130g smoked pancetta cubes
- 2 large eggs
- 30g double cream
- 30g freshly grated Parmesan (I use Parmigiano Reggiano)
- 1 tbsp fresh or frozen parsley
- 1 tbsp coarse Himalayan pink salt
- pinch of fine Himalayan pink salt
- a generous sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- fry or bake pancetta until cooked to your liking (I cook it in the halogen oven at 200C on high rack).
- meanwhile, bring a small pan of water to the boil with coarse salt, add black bean spaghetti and cook for 5 mins.
- crack whole eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly.
- add cream, salt, pepper, parmesan and parsley, reserving a little of the last 2 ingredients for final decoration.
- drain the spaghetti (save a little cooking water) and return them to the same cooking pot.
- add cooked pancetta, egg mix and 2 tbsp of the cooking water to the spaghetti and turn heat to high.
- stir for 1 min (don't overdo it or you'll end up with scrambled eggs instead of a creamy sauce).
- transfer to a serving plate and decorate with remaining Parmesan and parsley.
- serve immediately.
Notes
If you're not keen on black bean pasta, use noodles or konica noodles and adjust macros accordingly.
