Spaghetti Carbonara

Roughly chop the pancetta.

In a hot pan, add the pancetta. Cook for 5 minutes, then set aside.

Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whisk the yolks with a fork.

Before draining, reserve a small ladle of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.

Pour the reserved cooking water into the egg yolks and whisk until smooth. Add the grated Parmesan. Season lightly with salt, add pepper, and mix again.

Add the just-drained pasta to the pan with the pancetta. Pour in the egg yolk mixture, then mix.

Serve the carbonara on a plate. Sprinkle with any remaining grated Parmesan. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Enjoy!
