Ingredients
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fresh cheese tortellini until al dente, reserving about 120 ml of the pasta cooking water before draining
- While the tortellini cooks, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat
- Add the diced pancetta and cook until crisp and golden, then add the minced shallot and sauté until soft
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant, avoiding any burning
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan, and grated Pecorino Romano until smooth and creamy
- Remove the skillet from heat and add the drained tortellini directly to the pancetta mixture
- Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the hot pasta, tossing quickly so the residual heat gently cooks the sauce into a silky coating (do not boil)
- Add reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time to loosen the sauce for the ideal creamy texture
- Season generously with freshly ground black pepper and taste for salt, adding more if needed
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately while rich and warm
