Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 pound pancetta or slab bacon, 1/4-inch dice
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 cup good quality freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus additional for serving
1/4 cup roughly chopped parsley leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of pasta water.
  • 2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook pancetta over medium heat until slightly crispy; set aside with all the drippings.
  • 3. While the pancetta is cooking, in a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and yolks with Parmigiano-Reggiano, parsley and generous amount of salt and pepper to taste. After draining the pasta, return it to the pot and add the pancetta and drippings. Working quickly, add the egg and cheese mixture stirring everything together until the noodles are coated and creamy. Add pasta water, as needed, to loosen the noodles slightly if the sauce becomes too thick. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Transfer to serving bowls and serve hot with additional cheese.

This is the best carbonara sauce I've ever had! It's so creamy and flavorful, and it's the perfect addition to any pasta dish.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out curdled. I think I may have added the eggs too quickly.

This recipe is a great base for other carbonara variations. I've added peas, mushrooms, and even truffle oil to it, and it's always delicious.

The sauce was a little too thick for my taste. I added some milk to thin it out, and it was perfect.

I'm not a huge fan of pancetta, so I used bacon instead. It worked just as well, and it gave the sauce a smoky flavor.

The sauce was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra salt, pepper, and garlic powder to give it more flavor.

I was impressed with how well the sauce clung to the pasta. It didn't get watery or oily, even after sitting for a while.

The sauce was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was still a delicious dish.

This carbonara sauce was incredibly rich and flavorful. The combination of pancetta, eggs, and Parmesan cheese created a velvety and smooth sauce that perfectly coated the pasta. I will definitely be making this recipe again!
