Spaghetti Carbonara
A traditional Roman pasta dish made with eggs, cheese, pancetta, and pepper, delivering a creamy sauce without the use of cream.
Ingredients
Pasta and Sauce Base
- 400 grams spaghetti Use high-quality spaghetti for best results.
- 150 grams pancetta or guanciale, diced Guanciale is traditional but pancetta can be used.
- 3 large eggs Use fresh eggs for a rich flavor.
- 100 grams Parmesan cheese, grated Can substitute with Pecorino Romano for a stronger taste.
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked Adjust based on heat preference.
Instructions
Preparation
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
- In a frying pan, cook the pancetta until crispy and brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
Combining Ingredients
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Once the spaghetti is cooked, reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it to the pan with pancetta.
- Remove pan from heat, then quickly mix in the egg and cheese mixture, stirring rapidly to create a creamy sauce.
- If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach desired consistency.
- Season generously with black pepper.
Serving
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and cracked pepper.
Notes
For best results, mix the sauce off the heat to avoid scrambling the eggs. This dish is best served immediately as it does not hold well.
