    Ingredients

    • 200 gr Pancetta or bacon cubed or sliced
    • 1 tblsp Extra-virgin olive oil
    • 3 Large eggs
    • 1 cup Fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino Romano cheese
    • 1 Freshly ground black pepper
    • 350 gr Dry spaghetti

    Method

    1. 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add pasta and cook it "al dente"(until tender yet firm).

    3. 2. Heat the olive oil in a deep large pan over medium flame.

    5. 3. Add the pancetta and saute for about 3 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered.

    7. 4. Beat the eggs and Parmesan together in a mixing bowl, stirring well to prevent lumps.

    9. 5. Drain the pasta (reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water to use in the sauce) add the hot, drained spaghetti to the pan and toss for 2 minutes to coat the strands in the bacon fat.

    11. 6. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the egg/cheese mixture into the pasta, whisking quickly until the eggs thicken, but do not scramble (this is done off the heat to ensure this does not happen.)

    13. 7. Thin out the sauce with a bit of the reserved pasta water, until it reaches creamy consistency - this is a fundamental secret!!!!!

    15. 8. Season the carbonara with freshly ground black pepper.

    17. 9. Pass more cheese around the table and ENJOY THE MEAL!!

        I tried making this after seeing the comments and yes I would agree this is a good Carbonara - almost as good as my mum makes and she should know as she comes from the Old Country.

        Fantastic recipe I did this except used my own cheese and used chicken breast that had been left to marinate in chopped garlic and mixed herbs all day. also if you are only cooking for less people id lessen the sauce and also i wondered if anyone knew how to thicken it abit? Flour? Thanks loved it!!
