Step 1
Boil water in a large pot, add salt, and cook the spaghetti until al dente, according to package instructions.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, cut pancetta into small cubes and fry it in a pan over medium heat until crisp.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk together eggs and grated cheese until smooth.
Step 4
Season with a pinch of pepper.
Step 5
Drain the pasta, reserving some cooking water, and immediately toss it with the pancetta in the pan.
Step 6
Remove from heat, add the egg and cheese mixture, and stir quickly to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the eggs. Add a little reserved pasta water if needed.
Step 7
Serve hot, sprinkled with additional cheese and pepper as desired.
