Be sure to serve this classic Roman pasta on warmed dishes to keep it warm longer. The heat of the pasta partially cooks the eggs. Note, however, that many health professionals advise against serving eggs that are not fully cooked to infants, the elderly or anyone with a compromised immune system. Drain the pasta, transfer to the bowl with the egg mixture and add the pancetta, along with all the fat from the pan. Luscious and wonderfully indulgent, pasta carbonara takes as long to make as it does to cook the pasta.
