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.
3
Mix the Egg and Cheese
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
4
Combine Everything
Add the hot, drained spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta. Remove from heat, then quickly pour in the egg mixture, tossing everything together. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
5
Serve
Serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese and black pepper on top.
