The easiest and most delicious pasta dish ever!
It only takes about 20 minutes total so you have lots of time to spend with your honey! I added some sauteed spinach and mushrooms to the original recipe. Saves making a side salad!
Ingredients
- FOR THE PASTA:
- 3 Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic, Peeled And Crushed
- ½ pounds Pancetta, Finely Diced
- 1 pound Spaghetti Noodles
- ¼ cups White Wine
- ½ cups Parmesan, Heaping
- 2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Fresh Parsley
- 1 Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Taste
- FOR THE SPINACH AND MUSHROOMS:
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 2 cups Sliced Mushrooms, Your Favorite Variety

Preparation
Start pasta water (about 4 quarts) in a large pot.
Break eggs into a bowl and lightly beat them. Let them come to room temperature.
Place oil and butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until it turns a deep golden color. Remove the garlic from the pan and discard. Leave the oil in the pan.
While garlic is browning, start mushrooms (see below). When pasta water is boiling, add pasta and cook according to package instructions.
Add pancetta into the garlic-infused oil and fry at medium high until crisp. Add wine. When the wine has completely boiled away, turn off heat.
When pasta is done, reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water and add to the pan with the pancetta. Stir to deglaze pan. Drain pasta. Add pasta back to the pot it was cooked in.
Add the pancetta, cheese, parsley, pepper, and beaten eggs to the pasta and toss together thoroughly. Serve immediately with the spinach and mushrooms, extra cheese and more parsley, if desired.
For the mushrooms and spinach:
Add oil and butter into a separate frying pan and heat over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute over medium heat until they are tender and just starting to brown. Add spinach and and saute until spinach is just barely wilted. Remove from heat and set aside. Top spaghetti with mushroom and spinach mixture.
