Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the pancetta and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove the pan from heat.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Return the pan with pancetta to low heat. Add the drained spaghetti to the pan and toss to coat in the pancetta oil.
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.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
