Spaghetti alla carbonara

This is originally is a Mario Batalli recipe.  Bring a large pot of water to boil.  Cook 1 pound spaghetti until al dente, reserving about a cup of the pasta water..  Cook 5-6 oz of diced pancetta in 1/4 cup olive oil.  Separate 6 eggs.  When pancetta has browned, stir in 1 tbsp freshly grated pepper.  Turn off heat. Add 2/3 cup pasta water and bring to a simmer over med heat.   Whisk rapidly and add the egg whites, whisking for about a minute.  (You want it frothy, not set.  We did not achieve frothy, but it was still delicious)  Add the pasta, stirring well. Add 1/2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano and 1/4 cup pecorino romano.  Keep stirring.  You can then put it into 6 serving bowls with an egg yolk in each one, instructing your guests to stir rapidly.  This was a bit too precious for Sanford for lunch, so we added all of the egg yolks while it was still in the pan and stirred, then served. 

Homemade spaghetti.  I was lucky enough to receive a pasta extruder for christmas from my in-laws.  I have been struggling with the right recipe.  This spaghetti took me two tries.  First I mixed 2 cups semolina with about 1 cup of water which is from a recipe I found for extruded pasta.  ( I tried the kitchenaid egg noodle recipe.  It was too wet.  The pasta was fine, but not quite right.  Also, the instructions say to let dough dry on the extruder then "brush it off" the next day.  This is a joke with this recipe.  It dried like cement.  It took about 1/2 hour the next day of digging out the dough with a toothpick and skewer!  The recipe I used last night was much better for the cleanup.  I was able to "brush the dough " of the extruder with only a little bit of toothpick use)  Anyway, I added some all purpose flour and mixed in the kitchenaid for about a minute.  I put it in the extruder.  It came out correctly, but immediately stuck together.  So I gathered all of the extruder pasta, put it back in the kitchenaid mixer with more flour.  This time I made a dough that did not stick together unless you squeezed it into a ball.    I formed into walnut sized balls and dropped them in.  This time they came out perfectly and didn't stick together.  I don't have an exact recipe for this at this time, but next time I will measure!
