Ingredients
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- 4 ounces pancetta diced
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.
- In a skillet, cook the diced pancetta over medium heat until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, and black pepper until well combined.
- Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with pancetta drippings. Toss to coat the pasta in the flavorful bacon fat over low heat.
- Remove from heat, then quickly pour in the egg-cheese mixture, tossing continuously to create a creamy sauce. If it gets too thick, add reserved pasta water to loosen.
- Stir in the garlic and crispy pancetta; mix until everything is well combined. Season to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and extra cheese if desired.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to maintain creaminess.
