My kids love breakfast for dinner – and it doesn’t get much better than bacon and eggs gently combined with pasta. Ideal for a quick meal, easily and promptly assembled after getting back into town from a tiring day of travel or following a long and busy every-day.

CARBONARA

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

freshly ground black pepper

salt

16 ounces spaghetti

7 ounces pancetta, chopped

3 eggs at room temperature

1/2 cup grated parmesan

1/2 cup grated pecorino romano

Place a large pot of lightly salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions until just al dente. Drain, reserving 2 cups pasta water.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and cheeses until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and lots of black pepper.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pancetta and saute until just beginning to crisp, 5 minutes.

Reduce heat, add drained pasta and toss to combine and finish cooking. Off heat, toss in egg-cheese mixture and add just enough reserved pasta water to form a creamy sauce. Serve tossed with more grated pecorino and pepper.

Enjoy!
