Ingredients
  

  • 400 g spaghetti or fettuccine
  • 150 g pancetta or guanciale diced
  • 2 large eggs + 2 egg yolks
  • 100 g Pecorino Romano cheese grated
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Salt

Instructions
 

  • Begin by boiling a pot of salted water and cooking the pasta until al dente—firm but tender.
  • Meanwhile, crisp up the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat, adding the garlic just before it’s done to infuse its deep flavor.
  • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, grated Parmesan, and a generous sprinkle of black pepper for a creamy, savory mixture that holds our community together over a shared love for good food.
  • Once the pasta is ready, save a cup of the starchy water before draining.
  • This water is your secret ingredient, a tip passed down to enhance the sauce.
  • Toss the hot pasta with the egg mixture and a bit of the reserved water until the sauce clings luxuriously to each strand.
  • Share and enjoy this comfort dish with those you cherish!
