Method

  1. Step 1

    Bring a saucepan of water to a simmer over high heat. Add the vinegar. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl. Stir the water to create a whirlpool. Pour the egg into the centre of the whirlpool. Cook, without stirring, for 3 mins for a runny yolk or until cooked to your liking. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a bowl. Cover to keep warm. Repeat, in batches, with 3 more eggs.
  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain well.
  3. Step 3

    Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta, leftover ham, turkey or chicken. Cook for 2 mins each side or until the pancetta or leftover ham, turkey or chicken is crisp. Cool slightly. Transfer to a clean work surface and coarsely chop.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk the egg yolks, cream, parmesan or hard cheese and remaining eggs in a bowl. Season.

  5. Step 5

    Return the pasta to the pan with the pancetta or leftover ham, turkey or chicken and spinach or silverbeet, kale or rocket. Pour over the egg mixture. Place over low heat. Cook, tossing, for 1-2 mins or until the spinach or silverbeet, kale or rocket wilts and the sauce thickens slightly.

  6. Step 6

    Divide pasta among serving bowls. Top with the poached eggs. Season.
