Let’s get cooking

Method

Cut the bacon into strips and cook in a frying pan over a medium-low heat for 8–10 minutes, without oil. Remove from the heat and allow the fiercest heat to subside.
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the whole egg, pecorino and pepper. Add salt sparingly, allowing for the saltiness of the cheese and bacon.
Gradually stir the warm bacon fat into the egg mixture, then add the bacon strips. The base is ready to be tossed with freshly cooked pasta off the heat; stir until creamy and serve immediately.
