Spaghetti Carbonara

Ingredients

• 1 lb spaghetti
• 8 oz pancetta
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp black pepper
• salt
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley

1. 01
   Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. 02
   While pasta cooks, cook diced pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Add minced garlic in the last minute.
3. 03
   In a bowl, whisk together eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
4. 04
   When pasta is ready, drain and add it to the skillet with pancetta. Remove skillet from heat.
5. 05
   Quickly pour the egg mixture over the hot pasta, tossing continuously to coat. The residual heat will cook the eggs without scrambling them.
6. 06
   If the sauce seems too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach desired consistency.
7. 07
   Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Enjoy while hot!
