Fettuccine carbonara

Method

• 1
  Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain well.
• 2
  Meanwhile, heat a medium frying pan over high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until just crisp. Remove from heat.
• 3
  Whisk the eggs, egg yolks, parmesan and cream in a medium bowl until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.

• 4
  Return the hot pasta to the pan. Add the pancetta and pour over the egg mixture. Gently toss until just combined (the heat of the pasta should cook the eggs; do not overcook).
• 5
  Divide evenly among serving bowls. Top with shaved parmesan and serve immediately with mixed salad leaves, if desired.
