• Sea salt

Gather the Ingredients for Success

To whip up a mouthwatering carbonara recipe, you’ll need just a few key ingredients. Begin with spaghetti or your preferred pasta shape, alongside pancetta or bacon for that savory taste. Don't forget the eggs, Parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of black pepper. These simple items come together to create a creamy, comforting dish that warms the heart and stomach. But you may be asking, why use pancetta? It's because its rich flavor makes the carbonara irresistible!

Cooking Steps to Remember

Now that you have your ingredients ready, it's time to dive into the cooking process. First, boil a pot of salted water and cook the pasta until al dente. While that's happening, sauté the pancetta in a pan until crispy. Then, whisk together the eggs and Parmesan cheese in a bowl to create a smooth mixture. As soon as your pasta is cooked, combine everything while it's still hot—this is where the magic happens! The heat will cook the eggs and form a silky sauce, but remember to work quickly so you don't scramble the eggs.

Tips for Ultimate Flavor

For the perfect finish, add a little reserved pasta water to the carbonara if it looks too thick. This helps achieve that luscious consistency. You can also adjust the seasoning with more cheese or pepper, depending on your preferences. So, whether it's a cozy night in or a casual dinner with friends, this carbonara recipe is sure to impress everyone. Make it your own by adding peas or mushrooms if you're feeling adventurous!
