Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT

Delicious! A well flavored pasta with pancetta (we substituted bacon), Parm, and Pecorino cheese. But in addition - it has eggs. Eggs are separated, the whites whipped in with the bacon/oil/pasta water (sauce), and then mixed with the pasta. While still hot, an egg yolk is added, and mixed in. The heat from the pasta cooks the yolk.

This dish was amazingly creamy, and had a great balance of salty peppery cheese flavors.

By the way - this was prepared by my 16 yr old son, and recipe selected because it seemed pretty fast. It only took about 30 minutes (but with assistance).
