Spaghetti Alla Carbonara

Heat olive oil in a pan on medium-high, add pancetta. Boil water for the spaghetti. (If using pre-made, begin cooking spaghetti.) After pancetta has rendered its fat and begun to brown, add garlic, and saute until soft. (If using fresh pasta, start cooking it now).

Mix eggs and cheese in a bowl. Stir until well combined.

Remove pasta from water, drain. Add to bacon and garlic, toss to combine.

Remove from heat. (This is important so you don't scramble the eggs) Stir in cheese/egg mixture until coated. Add plenty of black pepper. Garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
