Cook pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook pancetta, stirring, for two to three minutes until beginning to crisp. Add garlic for 30 seconds, then set pan aside.
Place eggs, yolk, cream and Parmesan in a bowl. Season, then mix gently with a fork. Drain pasta, then return to pan. Quickly add egg and pancetta mixtures and parsley. Toss to combine. The heat from the pasta will cook the egg slightly and form a creamy sauce. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan.
