Fresh Fettucine With Bacon, Ramps And An Egg
- 2 slices thick-cut, maple-cured bacon cut crosswise into 3/4 inch pieces
- 1/2 bunch of ramps, cleaned and chopped into one-inch lengths (about 1 cup)
- 1/4 pound fresh fettucine, cooked to al dente and drained (save 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 egg
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Set a medium skillet over high heat; heat until hot. Turn heat down to medium high and add the bacon to the pan. Cook slowly, rendering the fat until the bacon is just crispy. Remove the bacon pieces with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.
- Add the ramps to the pain and saute them in the bacon fat, cooking until the white parts begin to brown. Season (lightly) with salt and pepper, and return the bacon to the pan. Add the fettucine and stir with tongs to combine the sauce with the pasta, adding a little pasta water if things need moisture. Turn off the heat.
- In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once it's hot, crack the egg into the pan and fry until the edges just begin to turn crispy. Mound the pasta on a plate or in a bowl, top with the fried egg and Parmesan cheese, season to taste, and eat!
