Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Cook the Pasta

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

2

Prepare the Sauce

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

3

Cook the Pancetta

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

4

Combine Pasta and Sauce

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

5

Serve

Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese and black pepper on top.
