- Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, put butter and olive oil in small skillet over medium high heat.
- When butter has melted, add the pancetta (i prefer to use bacon) and cook until it is well browned but not crisp.
- Add the white wine and continue cooking until it has been reduced by about half.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl (large enough to hold the pasta) lightly beat egg yolks with the grated cheese, parsley, pinch of salt, and a generous amount of fresh black pepper.
- When pasta is cooked, drain it and add to the mixing bowl containing egg yolks and cheese.
