Steps:
- Boil the kettle. Heat ½ tbsp oil in a large, deep frying pan or saucepan over a low-medium heat and sizzle the pancetta until crisp, about 5 mins. Once crisp, reduce the heat to as low as it will go to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, put the parsley, basil, mint and remaining oil in a small food processor and blitz until finely chopped. Or, finely chop the herbs using a sharp knife and omit the oil. Whisk the egg yolks and parmesan together in a separate bowl.
- Fill a large saucepan with boiling water from the kettle, season well with salt and bring to the boil on the hob, then cook the spaghetti for 10 mins until al dente. Add the asparagus and broccoli for the final 3 mins of cooking time, and the peas for the final 30 seconds.
- Lift the spaghetti into the pan with the pancetta using tongs, allowing a little water to be added with each addition of pasta. Drain the boiled veg but reserve a mug of the cooking water, then add the veg to the pan with the spaghetti and pancetta. Keep the heat set as low as possible and ensure there is a small puddle of the pasta cooking water in the bottom of the pan. This will prevent anything catching and help loosen the sauce.
- Scrape all of the herb mixture and the egg and cheese over the warm spaghetti mixture and use tongs to toss everything together, ensuring each strand of spaghetti is well-coated. Continue tossing the pasta through the sauce for a few minutes, turning the heat up slightly if needed until the sauce thickens and clings to the spaghetti. Add splashes of the reserved pasta cooking water if the sauce becomes too thick - the spaghetti should be glossy and shiny when ready.
- Divide between bowls and top with extra parmesan, a grinding of black pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, if you like.

SPRING GREEN SPAGHETTI CARBONARA
In 2018, I was working on a cookbook that I knew would be published in October 2020, one month before a contentious election. I thought, no matter what side of the political aisle you were on, you were going to be seriously stressed. (Little did I know that there would also be a global pandemic.) That's when I decided to make the cookbook all about comfort food. I wanted to include recipes for classics like tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches but to make them fresher, more delicious and easier to prepare. That's why I called my cookbook Modern Comfort Food. This Spring Green Spaghetti Carbonara is the essence of that idea. Classic pasta carbonara is made with lots of eggs, cheese and pancetta. It's delicious but it's also pretty rich. I lightened it up by adding fresh spring vegetables like snow peas, asparagus and English peas plus lots of scallions and chives. I also find that the classic dish doesn't have that "edge" that I like - a vinegary or tart flavor that really makes all the other ingredients pop - so I added the zest and juice of a whole lemon. Don't worry; I kept all the pancetta and lots of freshly grated Parmesan cheese! This is a delicious dinner: a classic Italian dish, updated, and so comforting on a cold night!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water with 2 tablespoons salt to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reserve a cup of the pasta water, then add the snow peas, fresh peas and asparagus to the spaghetti and cook for 2 minutes longer. Drain the pasta and vegetables together.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium (10- to 11-inch) sauté pan over medium heat, add the pancetta and cook for 7 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Transfer the pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
- While the pancetta cooks, fill a large bowl with the hottest tap water and set aside to heat the bowl. Just before you drain the pasta, pour the water out of the bowl. Put the cream, eggs, egg yolks and 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water into the bowl and whisk to combine. Immediately, add the hot pasta and vegetables and toss with tongs for a full minute or two, until the pasta absorbs the sauce. Add enough reserved hot pasta water to keep the sauce creamy. Add the 3/4 cup Parmesan, the scallions, chives, lemon zest and juice, 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper and toss well. Add the pancetta, sprinkle with salt and serve hot sprinkled with extra chives and Parmesan.

- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat and cook the spaghetti until al dente. In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, salt, pepper, pecorino, and parsley and set aside.
- Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium heat, chop the pancetta into one centimeter cubes, and cook in the preheated pan to render the fat and caramelize the pancetta. Once golden and crisped, remove the pancetta and pour off all but two tablespoons of the fat from the pan.
- When the pasta is done cooking, scoop out about half cup of the starchy pasta water and set aside while you drain the spaghetti. Remove the frying pan from the heat, carefully add the pasta to the frying pan with the hot pancetta fat and add the cooked pancetta and green peas; stir to coat and heat the noodles.
- While the noodles heat up a bit, slowly dribble in about three tablespoons of the pasta water into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling. Pour the egg mixture onto the spaghetti and mix for about five to ten seconds and then transfer everything back into the egg yolk bowl. Continue to stir the spaghetti.

- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Add the peas to the boiling water and cook for 4 minutes. Add the asparagus and continue to cook the vegetables another 3-4 minutes until crisp tender. Remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon and place them in the ice water. Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the Canadian bacon and cook until browned- the bacon is already cooked so you are just trying to get some color and crispiness with this step. Turn the heat down to medium and add the garlic. Cook another minute until fragrant. Remove the vegetables from the ice water and add them to the pan along with the pea shoots. Sauté the vegetables until they are heated through and the green start to wilt, 2-3 minutes. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper. When the pasta is done, add it to the pan with the vegetables, and stir to combine all ingredients well. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water.
- Whisk the eggs and cheese together in a bowl. Slowly pour about ¼ cup of the pasta water to the mixture, whisking constantly. Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the egg mixture on top of the pasta and vegetables. Using tongs, stir the sauce into the pasta, swirling it constantly. The residual heat will cook the eggs and it will form a creamy sauce. Add more of the reserved pasta water as needed to form a creamy sauce. Stir in the tarragon and season the pasta with salt and pepper. Garnish with reserved pea shoots. Serve right away.

- Set a large pot of salted water (I use 1 tablespoon kosher salt) to boil. In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add the onion, immediately turn the heat down to medium, season with a pinch of kosher salt, and sauté stirring occasionally, until soft and just turning to color, 7 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, transfer greens to a colander to drain—it’s OK if some of the water clings to the greens.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the onions and stir for 30 seconds. Add all of the greens. (Note: If you are using 2 lbs. of greens, you may have to add them incrementally to the pan.) Cook over medium to medium-high heat until greens shrink way down—use tongs to flip the greens around and help them wilt. Season with a pinch of salt. Turn off the heat.
- Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup (or more) of the pasta cooking liquid. In a medium bowl or liquid measure, whisk together eggs, parmesan, and juice. Whisk ¼ cup pasta water into egg mixture.
- Drain pasta and immediately add to the pan with the onions and greens. Pour egg mixture into pan and toss with tongs to combine, turning heat to low or medium if greens have cooled way down. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Taste. Add more lemon or more of the reserved pasta cooking liquid to taste. Sprinkle pasta with more cheese if desired and serve immediately.
