Title: Pasta Carbonara For Four
Ingredients:
– 12 oz spaghetti
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 8 oz pancetta or bacon, diced
– 4 cloves of 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. Remember to reserve a cup of pasta water before draining the spaghetti.
2. While the pasta is cooking, in a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Set aside.
3. In a separate large skillet, cook the diced pancetta over medium heat until it turns crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the pancetta and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5. Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta and garlic. Toss everything together to combine.
6. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the hot pasta. Using tongs, continuously toss the pasta with the egg mixture to create a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, slowly add some of the reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
7. Season the pasta carbonara with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve the pasta carbonara hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and flavor.
