Directions

1. Step
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook your pasta to package instructions. Drain well and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.Toss with a tablespoon of butter or olive oil so that the noodles don't stick and set aside.

2. Step
Whisk together eggs, yolks, and pecorino romano cheese and set aside.

3. Step
Next, fry up your bacon or pancetta/guanciale until crispy and fat has rendered (over medium heat). Remove meat from skillet and leave behind the flavor (fat).

4. Step
Add diced onion and cook 2-3 minutes or until tender. Next, add in your garlic and cook for another minute. Add a splash of the pasta water and then add your pasta.

5. Step
Toss to coat in the bacon fat and onion/garlic mixture. Reduce heat to low or turn off completely. Begin to incorporate your cheese and egg mixture until a creamy sauce forms. Do not do this over high heat - you do not want to scramble the eggs! Low and slow makes all the difference here!

6. Step
The residual heat will cook the eggs to a safe level to consume. Once everything is mixed together, season to taste and garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
