Spaghetti Carbonara

Recipe Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

2. 2

   While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the pancetta. Cook until crispy, about 6-8 minutes.

3. 3

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan cheese, and ground black pepper.

4. 4

   Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water. Add the hot spaghetti to the skillet with pancetta.

5. 5

   Remove skillet from heat and quickly pour the egg mixture over the pasta, stirring vigorously to combine and create a creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, to reach desired consistency.

6. 6

   Serve immediately garnished with additional Parmesan and a sprinkle of black pepper.
