Ingredients
Scale
400g spaghetti
150g pancetta or guanciale, diced
3 large eggs
100g grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt, to taste
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
In a large skillet, cook the pancetta or guanciale over medium heat until crispy.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, and a generous amount of black pepper.
Once the pasta is cooked, reserve some pasta water and drain the rest.
Add the hot pasta to the skillet with the pancetta, tossing to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and quickly pour the egg mixture over the pasta, stirring vigorously to create a creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra cheese and black pepper.
Notes
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
Do not add cream; the creaminess comes from the eggs and cheese.
