Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 eggs, lightly beaten; 2 cups heavy cream; 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese; 1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 onion, chopped; 1/2 pound sliced pancetta, chopped; 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon black pepper; 3/4 cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley; 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Servings: persons

4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1/2 pound sliced pancetta, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1
Whisk together the eggs, cream, and 1 cup of Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Blend thoroughly, and set aside.
2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook until al dente, or for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta, then return it to the pot (off of the heat), and cover to keep warm.
3
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet; add the onion and cook until transparent, about 8 minutes. Remove onion from the skillet; place in a bowl, and cover to keep warm.
4
Using the same skillet, cook the pancetta over medium heat until browned, tossing with nutmeg. Drain on paper towels.
5
Combine the pasta, onion, pancetta, pine nuts, salt, and pepper in the same large skillet over low heat. Slowly stir in the egg-cream mixture, tossing gently so the eggs don't scramble. Cook until just heated through. Remove from heat and toss with parsley and remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
