Let's Get Started
- Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
- While the pasta is cooking, cook the pancetta in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt.
- Slowly whisk in a bit of the hot pasta water to temper the egg mixture.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the pancetta and garlic. Toss to combine.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and pour in the egg mixture, stirring quickly until the eggs thicken and create a creamy sauce.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more pasta water. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the pasta with a sprinkle of chopped parsley on top.
