    A pound of pasta, fettuccine this time, 1.5 years past due date (that’s some bullshit, it was delicious).

    6 eggs yolks, 2 whole eggs.

    Tripled the bacon this time, about 250g sliced slab bacon cut into little strips.

    Also nearly doubled up the grated pecorino romano and parmigiano reggiano (~45g each).

    Quarter cup of starchy water and a double boiler, all came together quite nicely this time. Salted the eggs a bit before whisking, too.

    I don’t care that it’s bacon instead of whatever.

    Looks bloody great!

    Use the right pasta. I can be flexible with the pork and even the cheese but for gods sake not the fettuccine

    Eggs look great, I’m thinking farm fresh?
