Ingredients

1lb fresh tagliatelle or penne pasta

six large egg yolks

6 oz of pancetta

6oz freshly grated parmesan cheese

3/4 pint of double (heavy) cream

freshly torn basil leaves

freshly grated black pepper

A little olive oil (preferably extra virgin)

Directions

First of all, heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the pancetta until brown and crispy. Keep warm. Then bring a large pan of water to the boil with a pinch of salt and add the pasta of your choice. While the pasta is cooking, about 4 minutes, beat the egg yolks, half the parmesan and the cream together.

Drain the pasta when 'al dente' and transfer back into the saucepan. Add the egg mixture, and keep the pan on a very low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon for about a minute, until the mixture thickens.

Add the pancetta, stir. Pile onto warm plates and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and the torn basil leaves.

If liked, serve with garlic bread.
