Spaghetti Carbonara

Ingredients
1/2 pound uncooked spaghetti (8 ounces)
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 pound pancetta or bacon, diced
1/2 cup heavy cream

aa


2 egg yolks
1/2 cup grated Parmesam cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

Directions

  1. 1- Cook the spaghetti in a pan of lightly salted, boiling water until al dente.
  2. 2- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and sauté the pancetta for three to four minutes until browned.
  3. 3- In a bowl, whisk together the cream, egg yolks, Parmesan, and salt and pepper.
  4. 4- Once cooked, drain the pasta and return to the saucepan. Immediately stir in the egg and cheese mixture until well combined. Add the pancetta, toss with the sauce and heat through gently (if you have the heat too high the eggs will scramble). You can thin the sauce with a little extra cream if necessary.
  5. 5- Serve straightaway with some freshly grated Parmesan.
