Roast the Garlic
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Wrap the garlic cloves in foil and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until soft and caramelized. Once done, squeeze out the garlic into a bowl and mash it with a fork.
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.
Cook the Pancetta
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the pancetta lardons and cook until crispy. Remove from heat.
Prepare the Sauce
In a bowl, combine the mashed roasted garlic, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth.
Garnish and Serve
Top the carbonara with crispy sage leaves and candied walnuts. Serve immediately.
