Ingredients

Method

Directions

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. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.

2

Prepare the Pancetta

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

3

Mix the Sauce

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

4

Combine Everything

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

5

Serve

Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on top.
