Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pancetta

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Everything

    Add the hot drained spaghetti to the skillet with pancetta. Quickly pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing vigorously to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and black pepper to taste.
