Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon
kosher salt
- 12 ounces
spaghetti
- 4
large eggs
- 1/2 cups
grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cups
grated Pecorino
- 6 ounces
sliced COLUMBUS® Italian Dry Salami, sliced into thin strips
-
Freshly cracked black pepper and salt, to taste
-
Chopped Italian parsley, if desired
Directions
Bring 6 quarts of water and salt to boil. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta water, then drain.
In medium bowl, whisk eggs and cheeses until well combined.
Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salami pieces; cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until crispy and golden. Remove from pan with slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate.
To same skillet, add spaghetti, stirring and shaking pan to combine.
Remove the pan from the heat. Add egg mixture, stirring quickly until the eggs thicken. If the sauce seems too thick, thin it out with the reserved pasta water a bit at a time.
Season liberally with freshly cracked black pepper. Divide the pasta into bowls, top with reserved salami and garnish with parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
