Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces pancetta or thick bacon, diced
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (2 1/2 ounces) freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 pound spaghetti

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the pancetta and cook until it is browned and the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and keep warm.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, cheese, and pepper until uniform. Set aside.
  • Fill a large pot with water and add enough salt so the water tastes like seawater. Bring the water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the directions on the package until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking liquid.
  • Drain the pasta, transfer to the bowl with the egg mixture and add the pancetta, along with all the fat from the pan. Toss the pasta with the egg-cheese mixture and the pancetta until the eggs are cooked and the pasta is coated and creamy, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
