Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free fettuccine
- 4 ounces Pancetta
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the pancetta from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
Add the minced garlic to the pancetta drippings in the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring to coat with the pancetta drippings and garlic.
Remove the skillet from heat and quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, tossing continuously to create a creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water little by little, as needed, to reach the desired sauce consistency.
Add the crispy pancetta back into the pasta and toss well to combine.
Season with salt to taste, keeping in mind that both the pancetta and Parmesan add saltiness.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately while hot.
