Cream Pasta Carbonara

Ingredients:
– 12 oz spaghetti
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 6 oz pancetta, diced
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:
1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the spaghetti.

2. While the pasta is cooking, in a bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream until well combined. Set aside.

3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the diced pancetta until crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

5. Reduce heat to low. Quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture into the skillet with the pancetta and garlic. Toss to combine, ensuring the heat is low enough to avoid curdling the eggs.

6. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet and toss until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the pancetta and Parmesan cheese already add saltiness to the dish.

8. Serve the Cream Pasta Carbonara hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
