Category: PASTA
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

This dish comes together in a snap since the eggs cook when mixed with the hot spachetti. After eggs are added, they may appear to be slightly scrambled as they cling to the hot spaghetti. Pancetta is an Italian-style bacon found in specialty food markets and some deli counters of larger supermarkets.

8 ounces dried spaghetti
3 ounces pancetta or bacon, diced
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 medium zucchini, cut into ribbons
1/2 cup grated Parmiagiano Reggiano cheese
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 tsp salt
coarsely ground black pepper

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add pancetta; saute until almost crisp. Add shallots; saute until shallots are golden and pancetta is crisp, but not burned.
Add pasta to skillet; toss, cooking over medium heat. Add eggs; stir vigorously, scraping pan to loosen cooked egg. Add zucchini; toss well. Add cheese; toss. Stir in half-and-half, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until thoroughly heated, adding some reserved pasta cooking water if the mixture seems too dry.

serves 6
