1
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the linguine.
2
Prepare the Pancetta
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pancetta. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, then remove from heat.
3
Mix the Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and grated Pecorino Romano cheese until smooth. Add a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper.
4
Combine Ingredients
Add the drained linguine to the skillet with the pancetta. Toss to combine. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the egg and cheese mixture, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired creaminess is achieved.
5
Serve
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Pecorino Romano cheese and more black pepper if desired.
