Method
- Cook the pigs in blankets according to pack instructions and cut in half.
- Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the spaghetti and cook for 8-10 mins until al dente. Drain, reserving a mug of cooking water and return the pasta to the pan.
- Whisk the eggs and parmesan together until evenly combined, then pour over the pasta. Add a splash of the cooking water and beat with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth, glossy sauce. Toss through the pigs in blankets.
- Divide between plates and serve topped with a grind of black pepper.
