This quick and easy pasta recipe is loved by all, especially kids. The addition of a little cream keeps the eggs from separating, and although it is a little rich, it is so satisfying that along with a crisp green salad and a loaf of crusty bread it can easily become a main course.
Most children love this pasta, and in fact it is one of my grandchildren’s favorite meals. Since they love the pancetta best, I often cook up a little extra for them and sprinkle it on their pasta bowls.
Buon Appetito!
