Spaghetti Carbonara

Step 1

Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, about 10–12 minutes.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, whisk together the eggs and Parmesan cheese in a small bowl until well combined.

Step 3

In a large skillet, cook the pancetta over medium heat until crispy, stirring occasionally, for about 6–8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 4

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta and toss to combine. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 5

Slowly pour the egg mixture over the spaghetti, stirring constantly until the eggs are cooked and the sauce has thickened, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 6

Season with salt and black pepper to taste and serve hot.
