Creamy Pasta Carbonara

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with black pepper.
4. Working quickly, add the hot drained pasta to the skillet with the pancetta. Pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing constantly to coat.
5. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water to create a creamy sauce. Continue tossing until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
6. Serve immediately, topped with additional Parmesan cheese and black pepper.
