Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 ounces Pancetta, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
Step 2
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the pancetta and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove the pan from heat.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
Return the pan with pancetta to low heat. Add the drained spaghetti to the pan and toss to coat in the pancetta oil.
Step 6
Remove the pan from heat and immediately pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing quickly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the sauce reaches a creamy consistency.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
