Ingredients:
1 pound penne pasta
1/4 cup(s) Pancetta - or bacon, diced
3 tablespoon(s) olive oil - divided
2 small onions - peeled and julienned
3 garlic cloves - peeled and sliced paper thin (Learn How)
2 cup(s) cremini mushrooms - sliced or quartered
3 eggs
1 pound cherry tomatoes - halved
1/4 cup(s) Romano cheese
1/2 teaspoon(s) red chile flakes - ground
1 pinch salt and pepper - to taste
Steps:
-Bring a water to a boil for the pasta and cook to al dente.
-Drain the pasta but reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
-Heat a deep saute pan on high heat and then add the pancetta.
-Turn the heat down and render the pancetta slowly over low heat until crispy. Add a little oil if necessary.
-Once the pancetta is crispy, remove from the pan and drain on some paper towels.
-In the same pan, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil and add the onion, saute until slightly caramelized and add the garlic. Saute an additional 2 minutes.
-Add the and mushrooms and remaining oil, and saute. You will need to use all of the olive oil because the mushrooms are highly absorbent.
-Saute for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are soft and completely cooked; add the mixture to the large bowl. Add the drained pasta.
-Wipe the same pan clean or use another to fry the eggs. (They don't have to be perfect because you are just going to break them up)
-You want the yolks to still be a little runny. When they are done, place them in the bowl with the pasta and mushroom mixture.
-Add the tomatoes, cheese, chile flakes and reserved pancetta on top of the eggs.
-Gently mix it all together, breaking up the eggs.
-Add your reserved pasta water, as needed, to moisten the pasta and create more sauce.
-Season to taste.
