Sometimes guys you just gotta indulge. This pasta recipe is easy and so rich! It’s perfect for an at home date night or a night when you need some good ol comfort food.

Ingredients

• 6 ounces of spaghetti
• 1 Tablespoon of olive oil
• 4 ounces of pancetta or bacon
• 1 finely chopped shallot
• 1 finely chopped garlic clove
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan (I highly suggest getting the good stuff here)
• 2 egg yolks (this is what helps make the pasta extra creamy)
• Salt and pepper
• Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

• In a large pot of boiling salted water cook the pasta until al dente. Once cooked drain the pasta reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water (this is going to help thicken the pasta sauce)
• While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the pancetta or bacon and cook until the fat is rendered out.
• Add the shallot and garlic and cook until soft and fragrant (about 1-2 minutes)
• Add the cream and simmer until it starts to thicken (about 2-3 minutes)
• Add the hot cooked pasta to the skillet and mix to coat in the heavy cream sauce
• Remove from the heat and add the reserved pasta water, egg yolks and grated Parmesan.
• Thoroughly mix and season with the salt and pepper
• Garnish with the chopped parsley
• Enjoy!
