Ingredients
-
6 oz Ham
1.5 T Olive Oil
1/2 Small Onion
6 oz Frozen Peas
10 oz Pasta
2 Large Eggs
1 c Parmesan Cheese
4 cloves Garlic
1.5 t Black Pepper
Tips
See the video listed in the Description to watch a pro (not me) explain how it works. I just changed it up to use ingredients on hand and to taste.
Directions
Boil 2 quarts water - add pasta.
Toast ham, onion, and garlic in oil with some pepper - add peas and remove from heat or turn way down.
Whisk eggs and half of cheese with more pepper.
When pasta is done:
Add 1.5 c pasta water to ham mixture.
Drain pasta and add pasta to ham mixture.
Slowly add egg mixture to ham mixture, stirring constantly. The hot mixture will cook the eggs, making a creamy sauce in a couple of minutes.
Check to see if you added enough pepper.
Top with remaining cheese.
Serving Size: makes 3 dinner plate-full servings
Number of Servings: 3
