1 Make and chill the pasta dough. Cut using tagliatell­e attachment and dry as per instructio­ns for ribbons pasta. 2 When the pasta is dry, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. 3 Meanwhile, fry the pancetta and 1tbsp of oil in a large frying pan until crisp, about 8-10min. Using a slotted spoon, lift the pancetta on to a plate lined with kitchen paper. Wipe the pan clean with kitchen paper. Heat the remaining 1tbsp of oil over a medium heat. Add garlic and breadcrumb­s, toss to coat in oil and fry until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4min. Transfer to a bowl and mix in parsley. 4 Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente, about 3-4min, adding peas for the final 1min. Reserve a cupful of pasta cooking water, drain the rest and return pasta to the pan. 5 In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and Parmesan. Mix into hot, cooked pasta to coat, adding enough reserved liquid 1tbsp at a time until you have a creamy sauce. Fold through pancetta and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Serve sprinkled with garlic breadcrumb­s and more Parmesan. PER SERVING 922cals, 48g protein, 46g fat (17g saturates), 77g carbs (4g total sugars), 5g fibre
