Ingredients
- 400 g spaghetti
- 150 g pancetta
- 100 g baby bella mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 eggs
- 100 g parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-6 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and sliced baby bella mushrooms to the skillet with the pancetta. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden and tender, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 4
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated parmesan cheese, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 5
Once the pasta is drained, immediately transfer it to the skillet with the pancetta and mushrooms. Toss to combine.
Step 6
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the hot pasta, tossing quickly to create a creamy sauce. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired sauce consistency.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley for an optional fresh finish.
