Spaghetti Carbonara:

in photography •  10 months ago 

Ingredients:

  • 400g spaghetti
  • 150g pancetta or guanciale, diced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente.

  2. In a pan, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta or guanciale and sauté until golden and crispy.

  3. While the pasta and pancetta are cooking, whisk together the eggs, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

  4. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

  5. In a large mixing bowl, immediately toss the hot, drained spaghetti with the egg and cheese mixture. The heat from the pasta will help create a creamy sauce.

  6. Add the crispy pancetta (or guanciale) to the pasta and mix well.

  7. If needed, add a bit of the reserved pasta water gradually until you achieve a creamy consistency.

  8. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

  9. Serve the spaghetti carbonara immediately, garnished with extra Pecorino Romano cheese.

Enjoy your Spaghetti Carbonara!
