Wanna impress the family with a great meal and very easy to make?

I guess when I say it was inexpensive, I already had real Parmesan Reggiano on hand (don’t use the fake can shite). This will run you $8+ for a nice piece. The most expensive part tonight was the porchetta, which was about $7 for 6oz.

I use thinly sliced Tasso. Will add shrimp or crawfish sometimes. It’s always a hit

Not sure why the downvote.

Hows about you post a recipe for this very easy to make great meal.

I actually tried to make this years ago, and just have messed up the egg or something. It was simply not good. And i didn’t find it particularly easy to make, either.

Cannatella Grocery on Government St. in Baton Rouge has guancaile.

This place is getting worse than the outdoor board with making me spend money.

This thread inspired me to make some last night.

Ended up with some scrambled eggs in the pasta. Still tasted fine.

Need to work on that heat control no doubt. I just don’t make it often enough to be practiced.

The only additions I've made were adding miso to the sauce mixture and topping with some mushrooms

For one serving

Combine 2 egg yolks, black pepper with shredded cheese (pecorino romano or Parmesan will do) - whole eggs are fine too. Sometimes I don't fully separate the whites and have almost 2 eggs in the mix. Mix well.

Not sure about measurements but there are plenty of recipes online. Maybe 1/3 cup of cheese.

Brown pork in pan. Guanciale if you can find it. Diced pancetta works too

Remove pork when done but leave a film of fat.

Boil spaghetti in small amount of water so pasta water is starchy.

Add pasta to medium hot pan and swirl it around in the pork fat with a little pasta water to emulsify the fat and start your sauce coming together.

Add the egg, cheese pepper mixture to the top of the pasta and start mixing it in with tongs. Don't let the eggs get to the hot pan surface to start out. Mix and lift the pasta and cheese/eggs so it makes a sauce rather than cooks the eggs. Add splash of pasta water if needed.

Lift the pan off the stove and/or turn the fire off to keep it from getting too hot.

Some recipes call for different ways to introduce the eggs to keep them from overcooking but I don't think it's necessary if you manage the heat in the pan.

Should take less than 2 minutes to put together once the pasta hits the pan.

When the sauce comes together, add the pork back in and serve immediately.
