Ingredients
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¾ cup diced pancetta
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Instructions
  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Pour a little olive oil in a saute pan and heat over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crisp. Transfer pancetta and any drippings to a large serving bowl and set aside in a warm spot.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and cheese.
  4. Cook the pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain, reserving ½ cup of the pasta water.
  5. Add the hot spaghetti to the bowl with the pancetta and toss to coat. Pour the egg mixture over the whole thing and toss quickly until the eggs thicken. If it's too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. To serve, divide pasta among bowls and top with more Parmesan.
