  2. In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil.
  3. Add the garlic and cook over moderate heat until golden, about 3 minutes.
  4. Discard the garlic.
  5. Add the pancetta to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp and the fat has been rendered, about 5 minutes.
  6. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pancetta to a bowl.
  7. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the skillet.
  8. Add the cream and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, then pour into a medium bowl.
  9. Whisk in the egg yolks and 1/3 cup of the Parmesan cheese.
  10. Add salt to the pot of boiling water.
  11. Add the baby peas and cook just until tender, about 1 minute.
  12. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked peas to a bowl.
  13. Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook until al dente; drain.
  14. Return the pasta to the pot and add the cream mixture, pancetta and peas.
  15. Season with salt and pepper and toss until the sauce coats the spaghetti.
