Ingredients:
5 oz Pancetta or Bacon
2 Eggs plus 3 Egg Yolks, room temperature
1 cup Finely Grated Parmesan, divided
2 Tbsp Parmesan Asiago Dipper & Seasoning
1 Tbsp Roasted Garlic White Barrel Aged Balsamic
1 lb Pici Pasta
1 Pasta Rock, optional
1 Tbsp Vera Cruz Chili Infused Olive Oil (100ml)
1 Tbsp Parsley, chopped
Directions:
In a small fry pan over medium-high heat, cook pancetta until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the pan, chop, and add to a large bowl. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, Parmesan Asiago Dipper & Seasoning, and Roasted Garlic White Barrel Aged Balsamic. Set aside.
Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Season with 1 Pasta Rock or 1 Tbsp kosher salt. Add pasta and cook according to package directions. Transfer pasta to your large bowl with the pancetta.
Immediately start incorporating your egg mixture very slowly into the warm pasta while constantly stirring.
Toss pasta with the remaining ½ cup Parmesan cheese.
Top pasta with Vera Cruz Chili Infused Olive Oil and parsley. Serve immediately.
Recipe Note: If you don’t have Pasta Rocks on hand it is still important to season your pasta water! Salting the water is the only time the pasta itself is going to be seasoned so make sure your water is salty like the sea. We recommend adding 1 Tbsp of salt for every 4 quarts of water.
