Instructions

• 1

  In a large pan, fry the bacon/pancetta over medium-high heat until crisp, about 6-8minutes.
• 2

  Beat eggs and pecorino together in a small bowl with a fork and set aside.
• 3

  Cook the spaghetti to al dente, then drain and return to pot.
• 4

  Toss the bacon/pancetta and rendered fat over low heat until heated through and then turn the heat off.
• 5

  Add the egg/cheese mixture and mix through being careful not to leave the mixture too long (10-20 seconds should be enough) as it can turn the mixture into scrambled eggs. The result should be creamy.

  Serve immediately.
