Ingredients
12 oz spaghetti
4 oz pancetta, diced
2 large eggs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil

4. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with pancetta. Toss to combine and coat the pasta with the pancetta fat.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta. Toss the pasta immediately, using the reserved pasta water to adjust the creaminess if needed.
6. Season with salt to taste and serve immediately.
