Instructions
- Boil the pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Prepare the sauce: While the pasta is cooking, whisk together eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly ground black pepper in a bowl until well combined.
- Cook the pancetta: In a separate skillet, cook diced pancetta over medium heat until crispy and golden brown.
- Combine: Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and immediately add it to the skillet with the cooked pancetta. Remove from heat.
