Method

Preparation

1

Cook the Spaghetti

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

2

Prepare the Pancetta

While the pasta is cooking, cut the pancetta into small cubes. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

3

Mix the Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Combining

4

Combine Pasta and Pancetta

Once the spaghetti is cooked, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta. Immediately add the hot spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta. Toss to combine.

5

Add the Sauce

Remove the skillet from heat. Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the spaghetti, tossing continuously to create a creamy sauce. If the pasta seems dry, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Serving

6

Garnish and Serve

Serve the carbonara immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and more grated Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper to taste.
