Ingredients

  • 240 g Penne pasta
  • 100 g Parmesan grated (plus extra for serving)
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 Egg yolks
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 Chicken breast cut into thin strips
  • 75 g Pancetta
  • 10 g Parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for 2 minutes less than the packet states.
  • In a bowl, add the grated parmesan, egg, egg yolks, and black pepper. Use a fork to beat it until you have a smooth paste.
  • In a large frying pan, over a medium to high heat, cook the chicken until there are no more visible pink bits.
  • Add in the pancetta and cook until it starts to turn crispy.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, use a ladle to add in some pasta water to the chicken and pancetta. Turn off the heat, then add the pasta to the pan and toss together.
  • Add in the egg/parmesan mixture, then stir well until it’s creamy. If it needs loosening up then add a little more pasta water, if it’s too runny then heat it up gently whilst stirring constantly.
  • Add the chopped parsley, stir well, then taste for seasoning.
  • Dish it up, then finish with some more parmesan cheese.
