Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 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. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a pan over medium heat, cook the pancetta until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix the Egg and Cheese

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

Combining

  1. 4

    Combine Everything

    Quickly add the hot spaghetti to the pancetta in the pan. Off the heat, pour the egg and cheese mixture over the spaghetti, tossing quickly to create a creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired consistency.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional grated Parmesan and black pepper if desired.
