• bacon

• eggs yolks
• Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
• olive oil, extra-virgin: 3-4 tablespoons
• pepper freshly ground: ½ tablespoon
• salt

• Write down the steps to make spaghetti
  

1. Dice the pancetta into small pieces (1 inch [2.5cm] will do).
2. The Pot: Bring a big pot of water to a boil and add salt when it begins to simmer.
3. The Pot: Cook the spaghetti until it is al dente and drain it, reserving ½ cup of water.
4. The Skillet: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the pancetta and cook for about 10 minutes over a low flame until the pancetta has rendered most of its fat but is still chewy and barely browned.
5. The Bowl: In a bowl, slowly whisk about ½ cup of the pasta water into the egg yolks, using a fork. Add the Parmesan cheese and pepper. Mix with a fork.
6. The Skillet: Transfer the spaghetti immediately to the skillet with the pancetta. Toss it and turn off the heat. Add the egg mixture to the skillet with the pasta and toss all the ingredients to coat the pasta. Taste the pasta and add salt and black pepper, if necessary.
