This authentic Italian meal is so easy to make and is so delicious. Cooking the eggs throughout the spaghetti creates a rich eggy sauce with the perfect texture. You can adapt this recipe to suit your taste, for example adding peas for some fresh greenness or removing the pancetta to make it vegetarian.
