Cinnamon Pancetta Carbonara
- 6 ounces pancetta (about 6 slices), chopped
- 2 ounces bacon (2 or 3 slices), chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 6 large egg yolks
- 18 ounces fresh fettuccine
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- Cook the pancetta and bacon in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until almost crisp, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with the cinnamon and saute until the meat is crisp and golden, about 2 minutes longer.
- Turn the heat to low.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cream, cheese, and egg yolks.
- Add the cream mixture to the pan with the pancetta and cook at a very low simmer, stirring often with a wooden spoon.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Add the fettuccine and cook until it is just tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the cream mixture with the salt and pepper.
- Continue cooking over very low heat until the sauce coats the pasta thickly, about 3 minutes (do not boil).
- Transfer the pasta to a large, wide serving bowl.
- Sprinkle with the chives and serve.
