Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 boil pasta.
Step #2 heat large skillet.
Step #3 add olive oil & pancetta.
Step #4 brown pancetta 2 mins.
Step #5 add red pepper flakes & garlic & cook 2-3 mins more.
Step #6 add wine & stir up all the pan drippings.
Step #7 in a separate bowl, beat yolks, then add about 1/2 c of the pasta cooking water.
Step #8 this tempers the eggs & keeps them from scrambling when added to the pasta.
Step #9 drain pasta well & add it directly to the skillet with pancetta & oil.
Step #10 pour the egg mixture over the pasta.
Step #11 toss rapidly to coat the pasta without cooking the egg.
Step #12 remove pan from heat & add a big handful of cheese, lots of pepper, & a little salt.
Step #13 continue to toss & turn the pasta until it soaks up egg mixture & thickens, 1 to 2 mins.
Step #14 garnish with parsley & extra grated romano.
