Beat the egg yolks in a bowl, add the grated Pecorino cheese. 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. Don't worry if a little water drops in the pan as well (you want this to happen) and don't throw the pasta water away yet. Luscious and wonderfully indulgent, pasta carbonara takes as long to make as it does to cook the pasta.

To begin with this recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook spaghetti alla carbonara using 7 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Spaghetti alla Carbonara:
  1. Take 400 g spaghetti
  2. Prepare 200 g guanciale
  3. Take 1 whole egg
  4. Get 3 egg yolks
  5. Get 2 tablespoons olive oil
  6. Prepare 80 g grated pecorino romano
  7. Make ready To taste black pepper

In a bowl beat eggs with cheese and cream will smooth. Spaghetti carbonara is one of the most well known, yet often poorly executed, Italian dishes outside of Italy. Too often the pasta is doused in ladles of rich double cream and passed off as carbonara, when actually all that is required is eggs and Parmesan to make a lovely creamy sauce. Add some black pepper and pancetta and you have a super tasty yet easy supper.

Instructions to make Spaghetti alla Carbonara:
  1. Traditionally, carbonara uses guanciale and pecorino romano. However, since it may be difficult to obtain such ingredients, we sometimes use grated parmesan cheese (instead of the pecorino) and pancetta (or very rarely, bacon) instead of the guanciale.
  2. First, boil the spaghetti until cooked.
  3. In the meantime, combine the cheese, egg yolks, whole egg, and pepper in a large bowl.
  4. Next, in a frying pan, add the guanciale and the olive oil and stir fry over medium heat until brown.
  5. Pour 2½ ladles of pasta water into the frying pan with the guanciale (so ½ a ladle per serving/ 1 ladle per 200g of pasta), and let emulsify. Once emulsified, turn off the heat and allow the meat to cool down. Once cooled, mix it with the egg and cheese mixture.
  6. Once the pasta is cooked, drain the water and toss it in a strainer so it cools down. Then, combine the pasta with the egg, guanciale and cheese mixture.

Too often the pasta is doused in ladles of rich double cream and passed off as carbonara, when actually all that is required is eggs and Parmesan to make a lovely creamy sauce. Add some black pepper and pancetta and you have a super tasty yet easy supper. Spaghetti carbonara is a super quick and easy pasta dish that's perfect for weeknight meals or special occasions. This is my favourite, and the very best version I know of the great classic Italian recipe for pasta with bacon and egg sauce. I used to make it with English bacon and Parmesan cheese, but now we are able to get Italian pancetta and Pecorino Romano cheese, it is a great improvement.
