Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 20g butter
- 150g diced pancetta
- 4 courgettes, halved and cut into 5mm diagonal slices
- 3 garlic cloves, finely grated
- 400g spaghetti
- 6 large eggs (2 whole, 4 yolks)
- 80g parmesan, finely grated, plus extra to serve
- 1 tsp black pepper (or to taste)
Method
Step 1
Warm the oil and butter over a medium heat in a sauté pan and add the pancetta. Cook for 5 mins then add the courgettes.
Step 2
Continue to cook for another 10 mins, stirring often until the courgettes have softened. Then stir in the garlic and cook for another 2 mins.
Step 3
Turn off the heat and put the pan to one side.
Step 4
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and add the spaghetti. Cook according to packet instructions. Meanwhile, beat the eggs and yolks together, before stirring in the parmesan.
Step 5
Save some of the pasta cooking water then drain the pasta and return to the pan. Add the courgettes to the spaghetti and mix.
Step 6
Add the egg mix and stir vigorously until everything is coated. Use the cooking water to loosen and make a creamy sauce.
Step 7
Divide between four bowls and top with more parmesan plus lots of black pepper.
