Linguine Carbonara.

Two egg yolks + 1 whole egg [Schacht Farm], grated Pecorino Romano [The Fresh Market], freshly-ground black pepper (lots), stir together; pancetta tesa^¶ [Smoking Goose, via Goose the Market] sliced up & gently fried in a pan + the rendered fat, cooled down, stir; dripping wet just-cooked linguine [Rustichella d'Abruzzo] straight from the hot cooking water; immediately stir like crazy.** Plate, top w/ more grated Pecorino Romano. Eat.

** The Pecorino Romano "melts" into the sauce while the hot linguine is vigorously stirred into the sauce mixture, as many folks will know.

^¶ I usually use guanciale for this, but the pancetta tesa looked so inviting when I saw it...
