Jonathan's Spaghetti Al Carbonara

Jonathan makes a mean spaghetti al carbonara.  It is what my mother requested for her birthday dinner this past year and what Jessica likes to request as well.  He has made this a lot since we have been here in Juneau and it is yummy each time with all sorts of different cheese choices.  My dad doesn't really like the pancetta, but the rest of us do, so he gets overruled.  This could be made using bacon instead, but, shh, don't tell my dad.

Ingredients
1 lb. spaghetti noodles
1/4 lb. pancetta
3 cloves garlic-minced
2 eggs
1/4 lb pecorino romano or parmesan grated (about 1 cup grated)
Black pepper

Instructions
1.  Start cooking spagetti in boiling water
2. Mix cheese and eggs in a bowl and set aside
3. While spaghetti is boiling,  cook pancetta in a pan on medium heat until browned
4.  Add garlic and cook until soft-be sure to watch that the garlic doesn't burn.  Remove from heat when cooked
5.  Drain pasta and add to the pan with the pancetta and garlic
6.  So as to not scramble the eggs, be sure that the noodle mixture is not on the heat.  Add the egg and cheese mixture and stir quickly until the noodles are fully coated.
7.  Add a lot of black pepper

Enjoy with garlic bread and a nice white wine.
