Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
  2. 2 teaspoons olive oil
  3. 1 (4 ounce) package pancetta bacon, diced
  4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 2 ½ cups whipping cream
  6. 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  7. 8 large egg yolks
  8. ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
  9. ¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
  10. 4 cups shredded cooked chicken
  11. salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large, heavy frying pan over medium heat. Add pancetta and garlic; saute until brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
  3. Whisk cream, Parmesan, egg yolks, basil, and parsley together in a large bowl until well blended.
  4. Stir chicken into the pancetta mixture until combined. Add cooked spaghetti and cream mixture. Toss over medium-low heat until chicken is heated through and sauce forms a thick coating over the spaghetti, about 4 minutes. Do not boil or the eggs will scramble. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a large, wide serving bowl.

FYI, when I made this recipe, the whipped cream on the ingredients list was tofu. I guessed on the cream. I used a lot less, it still worked. I added a little pasta water to thin/thicken the sauce.

This is a very tasty dish. There are only two of us, so I halved the recipe but didn’t make any other changes. It still made a huge amount – enough for both second helpings and plenty of leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch. I’ll definitely make it again.

This turned out great! The prep took me a little longer than is indicated. It was a huge hit with my family and definitely is a keeper. The flavors mixed nicely and none were overwhelming. Thanks for sharing this.
