Steps

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti 2 minutes under the package time.

    Timer 8 min

  2. 2

    Render the pancetta in a wide pan over medium heat until crisp. Keep the fat in the pan.

    Timer 6 min

  3. 3

    Whisk the yolks, the extra white, grated parmesan, and a lot of black pepper into a thick paste.

  4. 4

    Lift the pasta into the pancetta pan with a splash of cooking water. Off the heat, toss in the egg mixture until glossy. Serve at once.

Work off the heat when you toss — residual pasta water makes the sauce, not cream.
