Spaghetti Carbonara

1. 1
   Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil.
2. 2
   Finely chop pancetta and grate cheeses. Mix cheeses together.
3. 3
   Beat eggs with black pepper and set aside.
4. 4
   Cook spaghetti in boiling water until al dente.
5. 5
   Lightly crush garlic cloves.
6. 6
   Melt butter in a pan, then cook pancetta with garlic until golden.
7. 7
   Remove and discard garlic.
8. 8
   Add cooked spaghetti to the pancetta pan, keeping some pasta water.
9. 9
   Mix most of the cheese into the eggs.
10. 10
    Remove pan from heat, then add egg mixture and mix quickly.
11. 11
    Add a little pasta water to loosen into a creamy sauce.
12. 12
    Season and serve with remaining cheese.

The heat from the pasta cooks the eggs — do not overcook or it will scramble.
