Instructions

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook spaghetti until al dente.

2

While pasta cooks, fry pancetta or guanciale in a dry pan over medium heat until crispy.

3

Whisk eggs with finely grated Pecorino Romano and plenty of cracked black pepper.

4

Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.

5

Remove pan from heat, add pasta to the pancetta and toss to coat in the fat.

6

Off the heat, pour over the egg mixture and toss quickly, adding pasta water splash by splash until the sauce is silky and coats the pasta.

7

Serve immediately with extra cheese and black pepper.
