Ingredients
 

Instructions

  • Saute the pancetta or bacon until golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels. Combine the eggs, half the cheese, cream, salt, and pepper in a large serving bowl and beat to combine thoroughly.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions until al dente.
  • Drain and immediately add to the serving bowl, tossing to coat the pasta with the sauce.
  • The hot pasta will cook the eggs and make the sauce thicken. If necessary, return the pasta with the sauce to the cooking pot and shake over very low heat until the sauce thickens.
  • Top with the cooked pancetta, a grating of black pepper, and the remaining cheese.

Notes

Note:
  • Instead on Pancetta, you can use 4 -6 rashers of smoked bacon.
  • I use spaghetti but you can use others if you prefer.
  • You can use Pecorino or Romano instead of Parmesan
