Ingredients
6 items- Spaghetti80-120g per person
- PancettaCut into small cubes; can substitute with guanciale or speck
- Egg1 egg per person; if 3 people use 2 eggs, if 4 use 3 eggs
- Parmigiano ReggianoGrated; can be mixed with or substituted by Pecorino Romano
- Extra Virgin Olive OilA drizzle
- Black PepperFreshly ground, to taste
Method
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with grated Parmigiano Reggiano, a pinch of black pepper, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil until well combined.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a skillet over high heat and sauté the pancetta cubes until crispy and the fat is rendered.
- Once the pasta is al dente, drain it and add it to the skillet with the pancetta. Toss to coat the pasta in the rendered fat.
- Turn off the heat. Pour the egg mixture over the pasta and quickly stir and toss to emulsify, creating a creamy sauce without cooking the eggs. If needed, add a splash of pasta water to adjust consistency.
- Serve immediately with a generous grind of black pepper.
