Cook the pasta in a large pan
of boiling salted water, following packet instructions but
leave it a little al dente. Whisk together the eggs, milk
and mustard until combined.
-
For the crispy breadcrumbs,
put the sourdough into a food processor and whizz until
rough crumbs. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and cook
the breadcrumbs, tossing well for 4-5 mins or until
golden. Add the rosemary, paprika and some seasoning and
cook for a minute then tip into a bowl.
-
Drain the pasta then tip back
in the pan and stir in the butter. Tip in the egg mixture
and half the cheese and mix over a low heat. Gradually add
the rest of the cheese, stirring until you have a rich
cheesy sauce. Season and serve with the breadcrumbs to
sprinkle over.

For non-vegetarians, it can be
served with bacon on top.
