Description

A quick and easy recipe for a classic Italian dish made with spaghetti, eggs, cheese, and pancetta.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 400g spaghetti
  • 100g pancetta, diced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 100g Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
  2. Fry the pancetta in a pan until crispy, then remove from heat.
  3. Whisk together the eggs and grated cheese in a bowl until well combined.
  4. Drain the spaghetti, reserving some cooking water. Add the hot spaghetti to the pancetta in the pan.
  5. Toss the spaghetti with the pancetta, then immediately pour the egg and cheese mixture over the spaghetti, stirring quickly to create a creamy sauce.
  6. Add reserved pasta water as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
