Cook 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 spaghetti.

Cook the Pancetta
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta or guanciale until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

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

Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the hot, drained spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta. Toss to combine. Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, stirring rapidly to create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, to reach desired consistency.
