Preheat oven to 350F for 15 minutes.
Get your pasta pot ready! Add water and a pinch of salt (pancetta is salty) and put on high heat. While the water is boiling, you can prep other ingredients!
Rub some olive oil on chicken breasts and add salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes and then start cooking your pasta (pasta water should be at a boil). Cook spaghetti per box instruction for al dente.
Whisk the eggs and egg yolks. Add the grated parmesan and the grated pecorino romano cheeses into the egg mixture.
Preheat a sauté pan with olive oil over medium high heat.
Chop the parsley for garnish.
Cook pancetta to tender not crisp!
Drain spaghetti when cooked al dente. Remove sauté pan from heat and add drained spaghetti. Stir to mix all ingredients well.
Cool for a minute. You don’t want to add egg and cheese mixture to a very hot pan. Add egg and cheese mixture slowly. Stir constantly until well mixed!
Grate the additional grated pecorino romano cheese over the carbonara and mix well.
Cut cooked boneless chicken breast into chunks. Ready to plate and serve!
Add to a platter to serve family style and garnish with chopped parsley.
