DISCOVER AUTHENTIC SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA

Spaghetti alla Carbonara is one of the most famous and amazing Italian recipe.

SERVINGS: 2

INGREDIENTS:

• 25 g pancetta (italian bacon) or guanciale (the cheek of the pork) or bacon
• 50 g parmesan, plus extra to serve
• 2 eggs (for an extra creamy taste, add one more yolk)
• 200 g spaghetti or bucatini or fettuccine
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 plump garlic cloves, peeled and left whole (optional)
• Salt and black pepper to taste 

METHOD:

1. Put a large saucepan of salted water on to boil.
2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped pancetta/bacon/guanciale and cook slowly for 2-3 minutes until beginning to crisp. Add the garlic (if using) and cook another minute, then set pan aside.
3. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and mix with the parmesan cheese. Add abundant pepper.
4. Cook the pasta until al dente (still a little firm, not mushy). When the pasta is ready lift it from the water with a pasta fork or tongs and put it in the frying pan with the pancetta/bacon and garlic. Toss everything to combine.
5. Add the beaten eggs with cheese and toss quickly to combine once more.
6. Serve your Spaghetti alla Carbonara immediately with a little sprinkling of parmesan cheese and a grating of black pepper.
