--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3       oz           Pancetta
    1/4   c            Chopped onion
  1       sm           Dried red chile
  3       tb           Butter
  3       tb           Olive oil
  4                    Eggs
    1/2   c            Grated Parmesan cheese
    1/2   c            Grated pecorino
  1       tb           Salt

 FINELY DICE THE PANCETTA and saute it gently with the
 onion and chile in the butter and olive oil until
 pancetta is rendered and the onion soft, about 10
 minutes. Discard chile. Beat the eggs with the 2
 cheeses, 1/2 teaspoon salt, several grindings of black
 pepper and the parsley. Bring 4-to-5 quarts of water
 to the boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt and put in the
 pasta. When pasta is still slightly underdone, drain
 it and add it to the pan with the pancetta. Over low
 heat, toss thoroughly to coat the pasta with the oil
 and butter. Off heat, stir in the egg-cheese mixture
 and toss vigorously. Serve at once.
