Method

Serves 2

• In a medium saucepan, add 2 litres of water. Bring to boil and add salt.
• Add fettuccine and cook for 6 minutes until al dente.
• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan on medium heat, cook ham with a splash of olive oil for 5 minutes until golden and crispy.
• Add fettuccine with tongs to the pan right away while still really hot. Make sure you save some of the cooking pasta water.
• Slowly mix in egg yolks, cream and 3 tbsp of the cooking pasta water to get a nice creamy sauce. Add pepper and cheese, toss and serve.
