Ingredients

  

Main Ingredients

• 400 grams spaghetti Use the best quality pasta you can find.
• 150 grams pancetta Can substitute with guanciale or bacon.
• 3 large eggs Use room temperature eggs for better mixing.
• 100 grams Parmesan cheese Freshly grated is best.
• 1 teaspoon black pepper Freshly cracked for better flavor.

Method

 

Preparation

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
2. While the pasta cooks, dice the pancetta and add it to a frying pan over medium heat. Cook until crispy.

Mixing

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.

Combining

1. Once the spaghetti is done, reserve a cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
2. Add the hot spaghetti to the frying pan with the pancetta. Remove from heat.
3. Quickly pour the egg mixture over the hot pasta, stirring rapidly to create a creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired consistency.

Serving

1. Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan and more black pepper.

Notes

For best results, consume immediately as the sauce may thicken when cooled. You can add peas or mushrooms to the recipe if you prefer.
