Instructions

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook spaghetti until al dente.

2

While pasta cooks, fry pancetta or guanciale in a dry pan over medium heat until crispy.

3

Whisk eggs with finely grated Pecorino Romano and plenty of cracked black pepper.

4

Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.

5

Remove pan from heat, add pasta to the pancetta and toss to coat in the fat.

6

Off the heat, pour over the egg mixture and toss quickly, adding pasta water splash by splash until the sauce is silky and coats the pasta.

7

Serve immediately with extra cheese and black pepper.

Lemon garlic salmon tray bake - easy & healthy!

Recipe video above. A tasty salmon tray bake recipe that's as simple as it is healthy. Salmon infused with an assertive lemon garlic marinade cooks in just 11 minutes alongside parmesan asparagus and blistered cherry tomatoes. No stove splatter - yay! Green beans would also work great, or thin broccolini stems (and the florets go crunchy!). Shower with parmesan and squeeze of lemon for an easy finishing touch.
