1.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package directions.
2.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the pancetta or bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
3.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, Pecorino Romano cheese, salt, and black pepper.
4.
When the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the pancetta.
5.
Remove the skillet from the heat and pour in the egg mixture.
Toss vigorously to combine, using tongs if necessary.
6.
Continue tossing until the egg mixture has thickened and coated the pasta, about 2-3 minutes.
7.

Tips:
For a richer flavor, use smoked pancetta or bacon.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of pasta water.
If the sauce becomes too thin, add a little more grated cheese.
To prevent the eggs from scrambling, toss the pasta vigorously and remove the skillet from the heat as soon as the sauce has thickened.
