Pasta Carbonara is a classic Italian dish made with eggs, cheese, pancetta, and pepper to create a deliciously creamy and flavorful pasta.
Ingredients
- 100 grams spaghetti or your choice of pasta
- 50 grams pancetta cut into small pieces
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese finely grated
- 1 clove garlic minced
- to taste black pepper freshly ground
- to taste salt
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve some pasta water, then drain the pasta.
- In a pan, cook the pancetta over medium heat until crispy. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and Parmesan cheese. Add black pepper to taste.
- Add the drained pasta to the pan with pancetta and garlic. Remove the pan from heat.
- Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, tossing continuously to coat the pasta and prevent the eggs from scrambling.

- Serve the pasta immediately with additional Parmesan cheese and black pepper if desired.
