Spaghetti alla Carbonara on saturday night, the yummy kind too. how awesome is the synergy going on. what?

Heat 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 4 cloves crushed garlic; cook until golden, about 1 minute. Remove and discard garlic.
Add one 2/3-lb. chunk pancetta cut into 1/2"-long strips; cook until edges are crisp, 5–6 minutes.
Add 2/3 cup white wine; simmer until thickened, 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Add 1 lb. dried spaghetti and cook until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup finely grated parmigiano-reggiano, 1/4 cup finely grated pecorino-romano, 2 tbsp. finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, and 2 eggs.
Slowly drizzle in reserved pasta water while whisking constantly. Add spaghetti along with reserved pancetta mixture. Season with salt and a generous amount of pepper. Toss to combine. Serves 4
