Carbonara Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the Pasta

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

2. 2

   Cook Pancetta

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Prepare the Sauce

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

4. 4

   Combine Pasta and Sauce

   Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta. Quickly pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing to combine. 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 black pepper and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
