Method

1 Place the eggs, egg yolks, cream, garlic and Parmesan cheese in a bowl and beat together until smooth. Season well and set aside.

2 Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the salami strips and cook for 5min, stirring, until they’re golden and crisp. Drain thoroughly on kitchen paper. Cook the onions in the same pan for 5min or until crisp, then drain on kitchen paper.

3 Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions, then drain and toss in the egg mixture. Return to the pan and cook, stirring, over a low heat for 2–3min or until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with plenty of ground black pepper.

4 Serve the pasta in bowls, topped with the salami strips and onion. Garnish with curls of Parmesan cheese.
