Direction
-
Gather all ingredients. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Cook pancetta in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
-
Boil spaghetti in lightly salted water for 5 minutes. Drain pasta and reserve 2 cups pasta water.
-
Meanwhile, add egg yolks to a large mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
-
Gradually pour 1 1/2 cups hot pasta water over egg yolks, whisking vigorously, making sure to whisk constantly so eggs do not scramble.
-
Whisk in Parmesan cheese, then heavy cream.
-
Add cooked pasta, pancetta, and chicken to the sauce, toss to combine. Transfer pasta mixture to prepared dish.
-
Bake until hot and sauce has thickened, 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
-
Remove from heat, stir and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes allowing sauce to continue to thicken. Additional pasta water can be added, as desired, for a saucier pasta.
-
Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
