Spaghettini Carbonara Tartlets


MAKES 2 DOZEN





Prep Time: 30 min


Bake Time: 20 min


Ingredients





1/2 pound spaghettini


Two 1/4-inch-thick slices pancetta, cut into cubes


3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese





Salt and pepper


3 large eggs


1/2 cup heavy cream

















1. Preheat the oven to 375掳. Lightly grease 2 muffin pans. In a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the spaghettini until al dente; drain and return to the pot.

Pour the pancetta fat into the drained spaghettini and toss together with 1/2 cup cheese and 1 teaspoon pepper. Swirl a small forkful of spaghettini into each muffin cup until about one-third full.
