Separate the egg yolks from the whites (save the whites for another recipe). Cook the Pancetta and Onion: In a large frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion to the cold oil. Once the onion starts to sizzle, add the pancetta. Cook for a couple of minutes until the pancetta is crispy. Add the Wine: Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer until the alcohol evaporates. Add the Tomatoes: Add the crushed plum tomatoes to the pan. Stir well and let it cook on medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld together. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the gigantoni (or rigatoni) until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Drain the pasta. Add the pasta to the pan with the tomato and pancetta sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly. Add the Egg Yolks: Quickly stir in the egg yolks, mixing thoroughly to create a creamy sauce. If needed, add a little reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency. Season and Serve: Season with olive oil and grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese. Give it a final toss to combine all the flavors.
