Carbonara

Carbonara is a classic Italian pasta dish that originated in Rome, although its exact origins still need to be determined. The plate is made with spaghetti or another type of long pasta coated in a creamy sauce made from eggs, cheese, pancetta or guanciale (cured pork jowl), and black pepper.

Ingredients:

Spaghetti or other long pasta (enough for 4 servings)

4 ounces of pancetta or guanciale, diced

2 large eggs

1/2 cup of grated Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

1/2 teaspoon of black pepper

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until it is al dente, and reserve 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water.
2. While the pasta is cooking, cook the diced pancetta or guanciale in a pan over medium heat until it is crispy. Remove the pan from the heat.
3. Whisk the eggs and grated cheese together in a separate bowl until they are combined.
4. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the pan with the pancetta or guanciale. Add the reserved pasta water to the pan and toss everything together.
5. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, and toss everything together quickly to coat the pasta in the sauce. The heat from the pasta and the pan should cook the eggs, creating a smooth, silky sauce.
6. Sprinkle black pepper over the pasta and serve immediately.
