by Greg Thomas, Macungie
Ingredients:
1 Package (16 oz.) Angel Hair Pasta
1 Jar (15 oz.) Creamy Alfredo Pasta Sauce
4 Eggs, beaten
1/2 lb. Thinly sliced pancetta (about 24 slices)
2 Chopped large shallots (about 1 Cup)
2 tsp. Minced Garlic
1/2 Cup Dry White Wine

1/4 Cup Chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
-Cook pasta al dente according to package directions, drain, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water.
-Return pasta to pot and cover to keep warm.

-In the same skillet with reserved drippings over medium-high heat, cook shallots and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

-Remove skillet from heat.
-Return pasta pot to stovetop over low heat.
-Add shallot mixture to warm pasta and lightly toss with tongs.
-Slowly add pasta sauce mixture, a little at a time, tossing pasta frequently to prevent eggs from scrambling.

-Add cheese, parsley, and pancetta crumbles, and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
