- About 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 3/4 to 1 cup dry white wine, a couple turns of the pan

Yield
Serves: 4
Preparation
Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. When boiling rapidly, salt water and cook pasta to al dente. Heads up: reserve 1/2 to 3/4 cup of starchy water just before draining pasta.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with EVOO, 3 turns of the pan. Add pancetta, season with black pepper and brown lightly. Stir in garlic, chili (if using), whites of scallions, zest the lemon over the pan and stir in thyme. Stir 2-3 minutes then add wine and reduce by half, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to low.
When pasta is about ready, beat the egg yolks with the reserved starchy water to temper. Add lemon juice, parsley and greens of onions to pan.
Drain pasta and add to pan. Turn off heat, pour in tempered eggs and sprinkle in a small handful of each of the cheeses. Toss vigorously 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats pasta and it's thick and shiny. Serve in shallow bowls with a little extra cheese, shredded basil and diced yellow tomatoes on top.
