Ingredients:

2 tbsps

Butter

5 large

Egg

Directions:

1

Fill a large pot with salted water (at least 6 quarts water with 1 tablespoon salt), and heat to a boil

2

Pour the olive oil into the skillet, and set it over medium-high heat

3

Drop in the butter, let it melt, then scatter in the bacon pieces

4

Cook the bacon, stirring and tossing the pieces, for 5 minutes or so, until they're crisp and caramelized

5

(If the bacon rendered lots of fat, you can pour off half the fat in the pan

6

) Beat the eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl until well blended

7

When the water is at a rolling boil, drop in the cavatelli, stir, and return the water to a boil

8

Cook the cavatelli 4 to 5 minutes, until al dente, lift them from the pot, drain briefly, and spill them into the skillet

9

Over medium heat, toss the cavatelli with the bacon pieces, coating the past with the oil, butter, and bacon fat, too

10

Pour the beaten eggs all over the pasta, stirring and tumbling them together; keep scraping the coagulating egg from the sides and bottom of the pan, and incorporate it in with the wet eggs

11

Cook for a minute or two, just until all the egg is lightly cooked and custardy and evenly scrambled into the cavatelli

12

Turn off the heat, scatter the shredded fontina over the eggs and pasta, and toss thoroughly to blend in the cheese as it melts

13

Serve immediately
