• 4 eggs

Recipe

• 1 put the olive oil (or butter) in a fairly lrg skillet. add the pancetta (or bacon) & fry it lightly over med-heat till the fat has melted. remove from heat & set aside.
• 2 cook spaghetti in boiling salted water.
• 3 meanwhile, beat the eggs in a bowl w/a whisk. whisk in the cream, half of the parmesan cheese & the italian herb blend. add the diced tomato & stir to combine.
• 4 when the spaghetti is still fairly firm to the bite, drain & transfer it to the warm skillet w/the bacon. place over med-heat & stir so it will absorb the flavor of the pancetta (or bacon).
