Spaghetti alla Carbonara

Spaghetti in Carbonara Sauce

Ingredients for 4 people:

  • 1/2 pound of spaghetti
  • 4 ounces Italian cubed pancetta
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1/4 cup Pecorino-Romano cheese, freshly grated
  • salt and pepper

Directions:

  • Put a 4 liters pot of water on to boil. 
  • While the water is boiling, add oil, pancetta and garlic to a skillet over med-high heat. Turn it to make sure pancetta does not stick. When pancetta is browned, turn heat down and keep warm 'til needed.
  • When water boils, add pasta, than salt and cook it until al dente.
  • Lightly beat the eggs and the cheese in the bottom of your serving bowl. 
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • When the pasta is done, drain well and add it to the skillet with the pancetta and toss.
  • Transfer the pasta to the serving bowl with the eggs immediately and toss. The heat of the pasta and oil will “cook” the eggs.
  • Season with more freshly ground black pepper and serve with some additional cheese on top.
