1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, minced

Directions

1.	Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2.	In a bowl beat eggs with cheese and set aside.
3.	In a large skillet heat oil over a medium high heat. Add pancetta and cook until crispy. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Drain on paper towel.
4.	Reduce heat to low. Add garlic and cook until golden, being careful not to brown. Turn off heat.
5.	Boil Notta Pasta according to box directions. Remove one half cup pasta water and set aside. Drain pasta and immediately return to pot.
6.	Quickly add egg mixture, pancetta and parsley to hot pot. Toss well, heat from pot and pasta will cook egg. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. If desired, thin sauce with some of reserved pasta water. A liberal grinding of fresh cracked pepper is especially good in this dish. Serve immediately.
