Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
Stack the Pancetta (3/4 cup) and using a very sharp knife, cut the stack into a 1/4 inch dice.
Step 2
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and add the Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) . When the oil is hot, add the pancetta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasional until lightly golden.
Step 3
Then add the Garlic (4 cloves) , stirring constantly, cooking for 1 more minute. Turn off the heat and set aside. Do not pour off the fat, as it adds to the flavor and texture of the dish.
Step 4
Beat the large Eggs (3) in a bowl, adding the Kosher Salt (1/2 tsp) , Ground Black Pepper (1/4 tsp) , and Pecorino Romano Cheese (1 cup) . Whisk until incorporated. Set the bowl aside to allow the eggs to come to room temperature.
Step 5
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the dried Spaghetti (1 lb) , and cook 7 -9 minutes, or until al dente. Before you drain the pasta, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Step 6
Add the drained pasta to the pan with the pancetta. Toss until well mixed. Add the egg mixture and 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water, and quickly toss to coat the pasta. Toss quickly and constantly so the egg creates a creamy sauce.
Step 7
If using, add a pinch of Ground Nutmeg (1 pinch) and toss to combine.
Step 8
Garnish the dish with extra Pecorino and Fresh Parsley (1 handful) . Serve immediately.
