Let's Get Started
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the tagliatelle pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
- In a separate pan, cook the diced pancetta over medium heat until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
- Drain the cooked pasta, reserving a small amount of the cooking water.
- Immediately add the hot pasta to the pan with the cooked pancetta and toss to combine.
- Pour the egg mixture over the pasta and quickly toss until the eggs are cooked and create a creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce.
