	Tinymango / All my dishes 1 year, 2 months ago This recipe was one I got in NPR's 'The Splendid Table' Weeknight Kitchen e-newsletter. I can no longer find it on their site, which is too bad because we used this as a side for some herb crusted rack of lamb and it turned out very successful. It is...

Ingredients

2 large eggs, at room temperature

Pinch of sea salt (optional if your proscuitto is already salty)

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano

1/3 cup finely chopped prosciutto

1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh hot pepper

1 plump garlic clove, peeled and finely minced

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 cups loosely packed baby arugula leaves, chiffonaded [I used mustard greens]

8 ounces dried spaghetti

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta.

Mix together the eggs, optional salt, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and Pecorino Romano in a small mixing bowl. Set aside

Heat the prosciutto, hot pepper, garlic, and olive oil in a large straight-sided sauté pan over moderate heat. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is golden. Add the arugula and 1/3 cup boiling pasta water to the pan, taking care not to burn yourself as the oil may spatter. Toss together to wilt the arugula. Most of the water will evaporate. Set aside off the heat.

Generously salt the pasta water and drop in the spaghetti. Cook, stirring often, until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Transfer the pasta to the sauté pan and toss over low heat. Add a few tablespoons of pasta water and the butter and toss again. Off the heat, quickly add the egg and cheese mixture and toss constantly until the strands of spaghetti are coated. The egg should remain creamy without curdling. Serve right away in warmed bowls
