HOW TO DO IT
1. Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 9 mins or until the pasta is cooked. Drain, reserving half a cup of the pasta cooking water.

3. In a bowl, whisk together the cream or creme fraiche, egg yolks and Parmesan.
4. Reduce the heat under the pancetta to low and stir in the creamy cheese mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
