Ingredients
- 400 g pancetta in thick slices, diced
- Olive oil
- 454 g Barilla spaghetti
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups finely grated Romano pecorino cheese + a little for the service
- 20 large raw shrimps, peeled and tails removed
- Garlic salt
- About 1 cup of cooking water
- Salt and pepper from the mill
Preparation
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pancetta followed by a thin drizzle of olive oil. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring, until the pancetta is crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pancetta and set aside in a bowl. Discard 3/4 fat from the pan.
- Meanwhile, in a large saucepan filled with boiling water, cook pasta al dente following the instructions on the package. Reserve 1 cup of cooking water, pour pasta in a colander and drain. Set aside.
- In a bowl, add eggs and cheese then season with pepper. Mix and reserve.
- In the same pan as the pancetta heated over high heat, add the shrimp and season with garlic salt and pepper to taste. Cook about 2 minutes per side or until nicely pink. Add olive oil as needed. Pour pancetta and shrimps into the large saucepan.
- In the large saucepan over medium heat, add the pasta, the egg mixture, about 1/3 cup of cooking water then season generously with pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until the mixture thickens. Correct the texture by adding a little bit of cooking water at a time because at this stage the pasta will absorb the liquid quickly. Serve immediately and garnish with fresh pecorino!
