Drop the pasta into boiling salted water to cook.
Put the sliced bacon or guanciale into a cold skillet, set it over a burner, and cook until it fries and the fat renders.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cheese, and pepper.
Turn off the heat beneath the bacon. Drain the pasta, reserving some cooking liquid, then put the pasta in the skillet. Stir everything for 1 minute.
Incorporate the egg mixture and stir vigorously for roughly 2 minutes to get a thick, creamy texture. If needed, include a small splash of the cooking liquid to make the sauce even more velvety.
