Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Spaghetti

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.

2. 2

   Prepare the Pancetta

   In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and the pancetta. Cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. 3

   Mix Egg Yolks and Cheese

   In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, grated parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.

4. 4

   Combine Everything

   Add the hot spaghetti to the skillet with pancetta. Quickly pour in the egg mixture and toss vigorously to coat the pasta. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve immediately, garnished with additional parmesan cheese and black pepper to taste.
