Carbonara Pasta Recipe

Step 1/10

• pepper

Crack mix of peppers with a knife and leave some big pieces for extra spice.

Step 2/10

• 3 egg yolks

Separate egg whites and yolks and add egg yolks to a bowl with grounded pepper. I’m my case, I used four yolks because they were small. Don’t throw away egg whites, safe them for morning omelette.

Step 3/10

• 150 g pancetta

Take any kind of pancetta and cut it into small chunks and add them to a pan. Fry in sizzling oil until they turn golden and crunchy. Drain pancetta and save remaining fat for pasta.

• 100 g shredded Pecorino cheese

Add shredded pecorino cheese to egg yolks and pepper and mix all together.

Add spaghetti into boiling salted water and cook “al dente”.

Now the most important part! Save some pasta water and take off the heat the skillet where you gonna mix pasta with the sauce.

Step 8/10

Pour cheese-yolks-pepper mixture into the pan with spaghetti.

Step 9/10
