Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil 
150g pigs-in-blankets, cut into small pieces
2 garlic cloves, peeled
3 egg yolks
80g parmesan, finely grated, + extra to serve
200g spaghetti or linguine
black peppercorns ground to make 1 tsp

  1. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and cook the pigs in- blankets for 8-10 minutes, or until crisp and cooked through. Add the garlic for the final 2 minutes of cooking time. then remove the garlic and take the frying pan off the heat.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, parmesan and black pepper. Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of lightly salted water following pack instructions, then drain, reserving some of the cooking water. Add a ladle of the pasta cooking water to the egg yolk and parmesan mixture. and whisk again.

  3. Tip the spaghetti into the frying pan with the pigs-in-blankets. and set over a very low heat. Add the egg yolk and parmesan mixture and toss together using tongs until the sauce thickens slightly and starts to cling to the pasta. Divide between two plates. and serve with another grating of parmesan over the top, if you like.
