Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, then add the bucatini pasta and cook until al dente, usually for about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water and then drain the pasta.

While the pasta is cooking, heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until the fat has been rendered, about 7 minutes.

Add the finely chopped shallot and garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1 minute.

Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the drained pasta to the skillet and stir so that the pasta is well coated in the cream.

Remove the skillet from the heat. With the skillet off the heat, quickly stir in the reserved pasta cooking water, the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and the egg yolks. Stir quickly to create a creamy sauce from the egg yolks and cheese.

Season the pasta with salt to taste.

Distribute the pasta among serving plates and garnish each with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley, some freshly ground pepper and additional cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
