Spaghetti Carbonara
Spaghetti Carbonara is a classic Italian dish beloved around the globe for its simplicity and rich, creamy sauce. Originating from Rome, this pasta masterpiece features perfectly cooked spaghetti coated in a velvety sauce of eggs, cheese, pancetta, and black pepper.
Ingredients:
12 ounces spaghetti
4 ounces pancetta or bacon, diced
3 large eggs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
2 cloves garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Method:
Cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti.
In a skillet, cook diced pancetta over medium heat until crispy. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta and garlic. Remove from heat.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the hot spaghetti, tossing quickly to coat. The residual heat will cook the eggs and create a creamy sauce. If needed, add reserved pasta water to thin out the sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and extra grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
