Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente; reserve some pasta water before draining.

Slice leeks thinly and rinse to remove grit.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add leeks and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Add pancetta to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, grated parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt.

Combine drained spaghetti with the leek and pancetta mixture in the skillet; remove from heat.

Quickly pour egg mixture over spaghetti, tossing to coat and create a creamy sauce; add reserved pasta water as needed to adjust consistency.

Garnish with chopped parsley and additional parmesan cheese before serving.

Serve immediately for best texture.
