Preparation Time: 20 minutes

- 300 g spaghetti
- 150 g pancetta or bacon
- 2 eggs
- 100 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)

- Black pepper to taste

3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Once the spaghetti is cooked, drain it, reserving a bit of the cooking water. Add the spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta and mix well.
