  • Cuisiner 10 mins

Ingrédients

  • 400g spaghetti (gluten-free if needed)
  • 150g pancetta or guanciale, diced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 100g grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Méthode

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water, and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
  3. In a large frying pan, cook the diced pancetta or guanciale over medium heat until crispy and golden.
  4. Add the cooked spaghetti to the frying pan with the pancetta, tossing to coat the pasta in the rendered fat.
  5. Remove the frying pan from heat and quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, stirring vigorously to create a creamy sauce. The residual heat will cook the eggs, so work quickly to avoid scrambling them.
  6. If the sauce seems too thick, gradually add a bit of the reserved pasta water until you achieve the desired consistency.
  7. Season with salt if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve immediately.
