Step 1

Boil the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water according to packet instructions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the pancetta and garlic for 2-3 minutes, until the pancetta is crisp and browned. Reduce the heat to low.

Step 3

In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with the cream and most of the grated cheese, reserving a little cheese for the garnish. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.

Step 4

Drain the cooked spaghetti, reserving a few tablespoons of the cooking water.

Step 5

Tip the spaghetti into the pan with the pancetta and pour in the cream and egg mixture. Mix well over a very low heat, adding a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen the mixture if needed.

Step 6

Divide the pasta between two serving bowls and sprinkle with the remaining cheese and the chopped herbs. Serve immediately with the rocket salad on the side.
