Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan cheese before serving. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
For an even richer flavor, use guanciale instead of pancetta.
Ensure the pasta water is hot, but not boiling, when tempering the eggs to prevent curdling.
If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley works fine. Use about 1 teaspoon.
Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave.
