Spaghetti Carbonara

Ingredients

• 200g spaghetti
• 100g pancetta or guanciale, diced
• 2 large eggs
• 50g Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
• 50g Parmesan cheese, grated
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the pancetta until crisp. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated cheeses. Season generously with black pepper.

4. 4

   Once the pasta is cooked, drain it, reserving a cup of pasta water. Quickly add the hot pasta to the skillet with the pancetta.

5. 5

   Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, stirring quickly to create a creamy sauce. If it seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
