Ingredients 
1/2 pound of pancetta, chopped (bacon is fine)
1 tablespoon of garlic, chopped
1 pound of spaghetti, cooked to al dente
4 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons of heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano
s&p

1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
Bring a large pot of water over medium heat to a boil. Salt the water, add the spaghetti and cook to al dente.
In a large saute pan, over medium heat, cook the pancetta until crispy. Remove the pancetta and drain on paper towels. Pour off all the oil except for 3 tablespoons. Add the garlic. Season with black pepper. Saute for 30 seconds. Add the crispy pancetta and the pasta. Saute for 1 minute. Meanwhile, beat the eggs and the cream together. Add a little bit of cheese and salt to the mixture. Being careful because the cheese is already salty. Remove the pan from the heat and add the eggs, whisking quickly until the eggs thicken, but do not scramble. Add the cheese and re-season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and serve.
