Bucatini Carbonara

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bucatini pasta until al dente, according to package instructions.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the diced pancetta until crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated parmesan cheese, grated pecorino romano cheese, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
4. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Add the hot pasta to the skillet with pancetta.
5. Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, tossing continuously to create a creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with additional grated cheese and freshly ground black pepper if desired.
