Step-by-Step Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water, adding a generous pinch of salt, and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
- In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together three large eggs, two egg yolks, and a generous handful of finely grated Pecorino Romano and Parmesan cheese until thoroughly combined.
- Heat a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add diced pancetta and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- In the same skillet that held the pancetta, add frozen English peas and sauté over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until tender.
- While the peas sauté, add the spaghetti to the boiling salted water and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
- With the skillet off the heat, quickly add the crispy pancetta and the egg and cheese mixture to the hot spaghetti, tossing everything together vigorously.
- Plate the Spaghetti Carbonara with Peas and Crispy Pancetta immediately, garnishing with additional grated cheese and freshly cracked pepper.
