Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 5 ounces turkey strips, diced
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, optional
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-low heat, cook the diced turkey strips until crispy and golden brown (10-15 minutes). Remove from the skillet and set aside, reserving the rendered fat.
- If using garlic, sauté in the reserved fat with olive oil for 30 seconds until fragrant; then remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, Pecorino Romano cheese, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until smooth.
- Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente (8-10 minutes). Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Quickly add drained spaghetti to the skillet with reserved fat (and garlic if used), then remove from heat.
- Pour egg mixture over hot pasta and toss vigorously until evenly coated.
- If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
- Mix in crispy turkey strips and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve immediately garnished with extra Pecorino Romano cheese.
