5. Place eggs, yolk, cream and parmesan in a bowl. Season, then mix gently with a fork.
   Drain pasta, then return to pan. Quickly add egg and salmon mixtures and parsley.
   Toss to combine - the heat from the pasta will cook the egg slightly and form a creamy sauce add 2 or 3 tablespoons of the pasta water, this will help thicken the pasta.
