Easy Pasta Cabonara

This is one of my favourites - soooo easy!
serves 2-3

about 150g hot pancetta (ask for it to be sliced thicker), cut into pieces
about 1/2 to 2/3 500g packet of pasta (the curly types are quite good)
grated parmesan
2 eggs
salt and pepper
freshly chopped chives

Cook the pasta. Meanwhile, fry the panchetta until starting to crisp. Beat eggs, stir in parmesan and season to taste with salt, pepper and chives. Drain pasta, return to saucepan (but not element) and stir through egg mixture and panchetta. If not creamy, add another egg. Serve immediately topped with extra parmesan and chives.
