Spaghetti Carbonara

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti until al dente, reserving 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

2. 2

   While pasta cooks, render pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Turn off heat.

3. 3

   In a bowl, whisk together eggs, Pecorino, Parmesan, and black pepper until smooth.

4. 4

   Add hot drained pasta to the skillet with pancetta. Toss to coat in the rendered fat.

5. 5

   Pour egg-cheese mixture over pasta and toss quickly, adding splashes of reserved pasta water until a creamy sauce forms. Work off the heat to avoid scrambling eggs.

6. 6

   Plate immediately, top with extra Pecorino and a generous crack of black pepper.
