2.Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add pancetta and fry until crisp (4-5 minutes). Add garlic and stir until fragrant (30 seconds).
3.Whisk eggs, yolks and cheeses in a bowl, and season to taste.
4.Drain pasta, reserving a little cooking water, and return to pan off the heat.
