Ingredients

Method

Main

1.Preheat oven to 220C. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, add 1 tbsp oil, then add spaghetti, stir to keep pasta from sticking, and boil until pasta is cooked al dente (2 minutes less than packet instructions). Drain, lightly drizzle with 2 tsp oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
2.Meanwhile, whisk eggs, cream and parmesan in a bowl and season to taste. Place pans over medium-high heat, add 1 tsp oil to each (or 1 tbsp for larger pan). Divide pancetta among pans and fry until golden brown (3-5 minutes). Swirl pans to coat sides with oil. Divide egg mixture and cooked spaghetti among pans, and stir once or twice to combine. Transfer to oven and bake until set and golden underneath (7-10 minutes; slightly longer for larger pan). Season to taste and serve hot with baby sorrel and buttered toast.
