Spaghetti Carbonara

Ingredients

• Spaghetti 5 oz
• Pancetta 5 oz
• Hard Cheese 0 oz
• Whole egg 2 pieces
• Salt to taste
• Ground Black Pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Bring well-salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente. Reserve some pasta water, as it may be needed later, and drain the rest.

Step 2

Slice the pancetta.

Step 3

While the pasta is cooking, heat a skillet and sauté the pancetta until golden brown, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Place the egg yolks in a bowl.

Step 5

Add grated cheese to the egg yolks.

Step 6

Beat the egg yolks with grated cheese until smooth.

Step 7

Return the skillet with the pancetta to low heat and add about 50 ml of pasta broth.

Step 8

Add the spaghetti to the pot and stir well until the boiling stops. Most of the water should evaporate.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and add the egg yolks with the cheese, stirring quickly until the yolks thicken. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little more pasta broth.

Step 10

Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve.
