Real Spaghetti Carbonara
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup grated cheese any combination of Parmigiano Reggiano and/or Romano cheeses
- 1/2 cup chopped pancetta or good-quality bacon
- 1 clove garlic, slivered
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- Fresh ground pepper
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook al dente. While it cooks, add olive oil to a large skillet and saute pancetta and garlic on medium heat. Remove garlic from pan. Drain spaghetti and add to skillet with pancetta. Let it sizzle then remove from heat. Transfer to a bowl. Beat eggs. Slowly add eggs to spaghetti and stir to coat. Add 1/2 the cheese. Keep stirring. Add rest of cheese, stir some more. The heat of the cooked spaghetti will cook the eggs. Season with fresh ground pepper to taste.
- Takes about 20 minutes start to finish.
