Steps:

1. 
   Cook the Spaghetti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the spaghetti.
2. Prepare the Pancetta: While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, then remove them. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy.
3. Combine Eggs and Cheese: In a bowl, whisk the eggs and mix in the grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
4. Mix Pasta and Pancetta: Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta. Toss to coat the pasta in the pancetta fat.
5. Finish the Dish: Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly pour in the egg and cheese mixture, tossing rapidly to create a creamy sauce. Add some reserved pasta water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
6. Serve: Season with freshly ground black pepper and additional Pecorino Romano cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
