Salt
2 packages fresh linguini, 9 ounces each
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 pound pancetta, cut as thick as bacon, chopped
3 to 4 cloves garlic, grated or chopped
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, depending on how spicy you like it
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, a couple of handfuls
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
1/2 cup cream
2 cups ricotta cheese
A handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
307
1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat water for pasta in large pot, salt it and add pasta for 3 minutes.
While water boils, heat a large skillet with extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, over
medium-high heat. Add pancetta and brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper
flakes.
Drain pasta, add to pan and toss. Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano and season with salt and
pepper. Beat eggs with cream and pour over top of pasta. Let eggs begin to set up, about
1 minute, and pat pasta into even layer to make the pizza pie crust. Place in oven and
cook 5 to 6 minutes.
Mix together the ricotta and parsley. Remove pie from oven and smooth the ricotta over
the top. Scatter with the provolone or mozzarella and return to oven. Bake 8 minutes
more until cheese is melted and golden at edges. Cut into wedges and serve.
