Ingredients
-
1lb Pici Pasta
-
1 Pasta Rock
-
5 oz Pancetta or Bacon
-
2 Eggs plus 3 Egg Yolks, room temperature
-
1 cup Finely Grated Parmesan, divided
-
2 Tbsp Parmesan Asiago Dipper & Seasoning
-
1 Tbsp Roasted Garlic White Barrel Aged Balsamic
-
1 Tbsp Vera Cruz Chili Infused Olive Oil
-
1 Tbsp Parsley, chopped
Directions
In a small fry pan over medium high heat cook pancetta until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from pan and add to a large bowl.
In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, egg yolks, ½ cup parmesan, dipper, and vinegar.
Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Season with 1 pasta rock according to package directions. Add pasta and cook to package directions. Transfer pasta to your large bowl.
Immediately start incorporating your eggs very slowly while constantly stirring your pasta.
Toss pasta with remaining parmesan cheese.
Top pasta with Vera Cruz Chili Oil and parsley. Serve immediately.
Recipe Note
If you don't have Pasta Rocks on hand it is still important to season your pasta water! Salting the water is the only time the pasta itself is going to be seasoned so make sure your water is salty like the sea. We recommend adding 1 Tbsp of salt for every 4 quarts of water.
