Ingredients

• 12 ounces Gluten-free fettuccine
• 4 ounces Pancetta
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the pasta.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove the pancetta from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the pancetta drippings in the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Return the cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring to coat with the pancetta drippings and garlic.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, tossing continuously to create a creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water little by little, as needed, to reach the desired sauce consistency.

Step 7

Add the crispy pancetta back into the pasta and toss well to combine.

Step 8

Season with salt to taste, keeping in mind that both the pancetta and Parmesan add saltiness.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately while hot.
