Ingredients (Serves 2):
- 250g of tagliatelle
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 100-200g of bacon cut up into cubes or strips
- 2 garlic cloves – lightly crushed
- 2 large eggs
- 40g of parmesan cheese
- 40g of pecorino or other Italian cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Start by putting a pan of water on to boil and finely grating the parmesan and pecorino cheese into a bowl. Add the pasta to the water once boiling. Meanwhile heat up another pan and add in half of the oil and after a few seconds add in the bacon and garlic, stirring constantly to avoid burning the garlic. The bacon should go nice and crispy after 5 or 6 minutes. Give the pasta a quick stir and check it isn’t cooked yet. Once the bacon is cooked remove the garlic cloves as these were just for adding taste. Beat the eggs and grated cheese together until consistent and add in a grind of salt and pepper. Once the pasta is cooked drain it off and return it to the pan. Add in the egg and cheese mix along with the bacon and the other half of the olive oil to the pasta and stir until it’s fully coated. Serve straight away with another fine grind of cheese!
