BACON AND EGG COAL MINER'S PASTA: RIGATONI ALLA CARBONARA

Steps:

• Place a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When water is rolling, add salt and pasta and cook to al dente, about 8 minutes, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. While pasta cooks, heat large skillet over moderate heat. Saute pancetta in a drizzle of oil until it browns, 3 to 5 minutes. Add extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, and crushed pepper flake. Saute garlic 2 minutes. Add wine or stock to the pan and reduce liquid by half, 2 minutes.
• Beat together egg yolks, cheese, and while whisking vigorously, stir in a ladle of the boiling pasta water. Beat in parsley and pepper and set aside.
• Drain pasta. Add pasta to pan with sauce. Toss pasta with pancetta, then add egg mixture and toss 1 minute, then remove from heat. Continue to toss until sauce is absorbed by and thickly coating the pasta. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper and serve with extra cheese, for passing.

MINERS DAWN

Steps:

• In a large pot, boil the russet potatoes whole for 30 minutes or until they are cooked through but not mushy. Allow them to cool completely in the refrigerator. Once they are cooled completely, roughly chop them into cubes.
• To make the potatoes: Heat a large skillet with 3 tablespoons canola oil and 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped potatoes along with the rest of the ingredients. Mix thoroughly and saute the potatoes until they are crispy and browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
• To make the basted eggs: Heat an 8-inch egg pan with 1 teaspoon of clarified butter. Add 2 eggs to the pan and cook until the whites are mostly cooked. Add 1 tablespoon of water and cover the eggs with a tight fitting lid to allow the eggs to cook with the steam. Cook until desired doneness.
