1
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.
2
Cook the Pancetta
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
3
Prepare the Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until combined.
4
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the hot spaghetti to the skillet with pancetta. Remove from heat and quickly pour in the egg mixture. Toss vigorously to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to create a creamy sauce.
5
Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and more black pepper if desired. Serve immediately with extra parmesan on top.
