Who can resist the allure of Spaghetti Carbonara? With its creamy sauce, savory bacon and perfectly cooked pasta, it’s a beloved classic in most Italian cuisine-loving households. Contrary to what one might believe, making Spaghetti Carbonara isn’t as difficult as it seems. Let’s delve right in!

Ingredients:

• 200g spaghetti
• 100g pancetta
• 2 large eggs
• 50g pecorino cheese
• 50g parmigiano reggiano cheese
• Freshly ground black pepper
• A pinch of salt

Directions:

1. Start off by boiling a large pot of slightly salted water. Add your spaghetti and cook until al dente.

2. Meanwhile, cut the pancetta into small chunks and cook it in a hot pan until crispy.

3. While waiting for the pancetta to cook, whisk the eggs in a separate bowl. Add both cheeses and a generous amount of black pepper. Mix until the ingredients combine into a creamy paste.

4. At this point, your spaghetti should be ready. Reserve some pasta water before draining. This starchy water can help loosen the sauce later if needed.

5. Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan with pancetta. Turn off the heat. This step is essential to prevent the eggs from scrambling when added into the pan.

6. Pour the egg-cheese mixture over the spaghetti and quickly toss and stir. The eggs will partially cook from the residual heat, forming a creamy sauce.

7. If needed, add a few tablespoons of your reserved pasta water until you get the desired consistency.

8. Serve immediately, perhaps with a further sprinkle of cheese and pepper. Buon appetito!

This delicious Spaghetti Carbonara recipe is perfect for a romantic dinner or a cozy family meal. It only takes 30 minutes to cook. It’s the ideal example of creating something scrumptious in a blink! You’ll love the complex flavors hailing from the simplest ingredients.

Detractors may argue about the authenticity of this recipe – specifically the lack of cream. Traditionalists staunchly believe that a real carbonara sauce should only contain egg yolk, pecorino-romano cheese, guanciale (an Italian cured meat), and black pepper. However, this is an easy-to-find ingredients version that won’t disappoint!

Enjoy this dish with a side of garlic bread and a good bottle of wine, and you have a perfect Italian meal right at home!
