    4. As the pasta is cooking, warm a large serving bowl.
    5. Place the egg yolks in the bowl along with the cheese mixture along with the ground pepper.
    6. Use a whisk and blend until well mixed.
    7. Drain the pasta, reserving a small cup of the pasta water, then return the pasta to the pot.
    8. Add the warm pancetta and toss to mix well.
    9. Add the drained, steaming hot pasta into the bowl with the eggs, along with a little of the pasta water, toss vigorously to lightly cook the eggs and coat the pasta with the egg mixture.
    10. Serve the pasta in individual bowls with a sprinkling of the parsley and the remainder of the cheese.
