Spaghetti Carbonara

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.

2. 2

   While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and garlic, and cook until the pancetta is crispy and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove the garlic and discard it.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, Pecorino cheese, and Parmesan cheese.

4. 4

   Drain the spaghetti, reserving about 1 cup of the pasta water. Add the spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta and toss to combine.

5. 5

   Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly pour in the egg and cheese mixture, tossing constantly to create a creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time if the sauce is too thick.

6. 6

   Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Pecorino and Parmesan cheese if desired.
