Ingredients
Method
Prepare 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 pasta.
Cook the Pancetta
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced pancetta until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Make the Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
Combine
- Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with pancetta and toss to combine.
- Remove from heat and quickly pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing continuously to create a creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water as needed to reach desired consistency.
Serve
- Plate the pasta, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use guanciale instead of pancetta. Ensure to work quickly when adding the egg mixture to prevent scrambling.
