Step by Step guide
Step 1
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil, add the pancetta (or slightly smoked bacon) cut into thin strips, season with pepper, and sauté lightly. In a bowl, mix the eggs, grated Pecorino cheese, and Parmesan, along with some more black pepper, and whisk with a fork until smooth.
Step 2
Cook the spaghetti (preferably brands like Barilla or De Cecco) in salted water according to the instructions (usually no more than 8–10 minutes) until al dente. During cooking, add some of the pasta water (approximately half a cup) to the pancetta.
Step 3
Drain the spaghetti in a colander, let the water drain, and add it to the pancetta. Mix thoroughly, remove the saucepan from the heat. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the spaghetti while continuously stirring vigorously. Add some more grated cheese, mix again, and serve.
