Categories     Spaghetti

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb spaghetti
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 ounces pancetta (cubed or sliced) or 4 ounces thick slab bacon (cubed or sliced)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 large eggs
1 cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese (plus more for serving)
fresh ground black pepper
fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (to taste)

Steps:

  • Prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking to ensure that the spaghetti will be hot and ready when the sauce is finished; it is very important that the pasta is hot when adding the egg mixture, so that the heat of the pasta cooks the raw eggs in the sauce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender yet firm (as they say in Italian "al dente.") Drain the pasta well, reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water to use in the sauce if you wish.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium flame. Add the pancetta and saute for about 3 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered. Toss the garlic into the fat and saute for less than 1 minute to soften.
  • Add the hot, drained spaghetti to the pan and toss for 2 minutes to coat the strands in the bacon fat. Beat the eggs and Parmesan together in a mixing bowl, stirring well to prevent lumps. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the egg/cheese mixture into the pasta, whisking quickly until the eggs thicken, but do not scramble (this is done off the heat to ensure this does not happen.) Thin out the sauce with a bit of the reserved pasta water, until it reaches desired consistency. Season the carbonara with several turns of freshly ground black pepper and taste for salt. Mound the spaghetti carbonara into warm serving bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Pass more cheese around the table.

I've made carbonara many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of white wine and lemon zest really takes it to the next level.
