Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.

Prepare the Sauce
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and pancetta (or guanciale). Cook until the meat is crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

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

Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the drained linguini to the skillet with the pancetta and garlic, tossing to combine. Remove from heat. Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, tossing to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
