Instructions

    Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente and reserve pasta water.

  3. 3

    Render pancetta over medium-low heat until crisp and the fat is released.

  4. 4

    Turn off heat, add pasta to the pan, toss in rendered fat, and cool for 30 seconds.

  5. 5

    Add the egg-cheese mixture and toss quickly, adjusting texture with pasta water.

Tips

If the pan is too hot, eggs scramble; mix off heat.
Finely grated cheese emulsifies more smoothly.
