Preparation

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.
