1 pound lump Dungeness or King crab leg meat
1/3 pound meaty pancetta or guanciale
1 shallot
1 small rib of celery with leafy tops
4 cloves garlic
A few sprigs of thyme
6 large eggs
About 3/4 cup grated Pecorino-Romano, loosely packed
About 3/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, loosely packed
Salt and pepper
1 pound spaghetti
EVOO
1/2 cup sherry or white wine
1 small lemon
2 scallions
A small handful of celery tops
Togarashi or Old Bay, for sprinkling
Negroni, for serving, recipe follows

Negroni:
1 orange wedge
1 1/2 ounces gin
1 1/2 ounces Campari
3/4 ounces red vermouth
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Ice
Club soda, for topping, if desired
1 lemon twist

Directions

Gather your ingredients.

Bring a pot of water to boil for pasta, 4 to 6 quarts.

Place crab meat in bowl and run your fingers through it to check for connective tissue, sharp pieces and shell. Pull into long thin strands and small bite-size pieces.

Chop the pancetta or guanciale into 1/8 to 1/4-inch dice.

Peel and chop the shallot, finely chop the celery and pile with it. Peel the garlic cloves and chop or have a grater at hand. Stem the thyme and chop.

Line a small bowl with a baggie if you wish to save the egg whites. Crack and separate the eggs, with yolks in medium glass mixing bowl. Whisk up eggs and whisk in cheeses, salt and pepper.
Salt water for pasta and drop the pasta.

Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat with EVOO, 3 turns of the pan. Add pancetta or guanciale and render 2 to 3 minutes. Add shallots, celery, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir a minute or 2, then add sherry or white wine and crab. Toss to warm through and let sherry or wine absorb. Add juice of 1 lemon.

Add 1 cup starchy boiling water to eggs to temper them. Drain pasta and add to crab. Toss with eggs and cheeses off heat for 1 full minute. Adjust salt and pepper, serve.

Negroni:
