Classic Spaghetti Carbonara

Boil water in a large pot, add salt and cook the spaghetti until al dente.

While pasta cooks, fry pancetta in a pan until crispy and set aside.

Beat eggs with grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper in a bowl.

Drain spaghetti, reserving some cooking water.

Mix spaghetti with pancetta off the heat, then quickly stir in the egg and cheese mixture, adding reserved water to create a creamy sauce.

Serve immediately with extra Parmesan and pepper if desired.
