"This is a superb recipe and a great quick fix, but its taken me years to master and I now do it slightly differently to ensure good results. The only way I can get stop the egg scrambling is by leaving the egg till the very last minute. I also never mix it in the frying pan as I find it almost always scrambles, I've had countless disasters! I fry the pancetta (or bacon) add garlic & cream, simmer, add the Parmesan until melted and keep on a low heat while the pasta cooks. I sometimes add mixed herbs and fry the bacon in a small amount of white wine, an idea which I stole from a restaurant. This gives me a very rich sauce. Drain the pasta, Mix, (off the heat; in the pasta pan) then finally add the egg, stir quickly and serve. I like the tip about using the pasta water to glaze. I've found that useful in many recipes. Great recipe though."

"If you don't skimp on the meat and you use a good sirloin or fillet steak, this is by far the best recipe I have found on this website. The mixture of the roasted cashews, broccoli & steak, with the horseradish side is fantastic. I've always made it with creamy mash as well. A proper family favourite. The picture doesn't do this meal justice. "

"Superb, dead easy and gorgeous. Great with black pepper and the rest of the white wine!"
