Pasta alla Carbonara

Who doesn’t like traditional Italian pasta, with lots of cheese and pancetta?! .. exactly thought so🍝🧀 🥓 follow this recipe to see the right technique and make it perfect every time.

What I like about this dish, is that let’s be honest it’s easy, and the ingredients required are I believe everyone’s essentials in the kitchen, pasta? Check, bacon? Check, cheese? Check.. so just make it if you don’t have an idea what to have for dinner 🍝🧀 🥓🧀🥓🧀🥓🍝

Ingredients for 1 serving :-

• Handful of pasta- any you like spaghetti, linguine or tagliatelle- I personally used tagliatelle.
• 4 strips of pancetta or unsmoked bacon, I used both
• 2 garlic gloves , crushed
• Olive oil, salt and pepper to taste
• 3 eggs
• 20g Parmesan cheese grated, and some extra for serving
• 20 g pecorino cheese, grated and some extra for serving
• 1 spring of fresh thyme,optional

Bring saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta, and cook for 10 minutes or until cooked, or following the instructions on the packaging

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta( chopped) and garlic, fry, stirring for 6-7 minutes, or until all crispy.

Beat the eggs and cheeses together, add some pepper and salt to taste if required, and thyme if using. Drain the pasta and return to the pan. Add the eggs, pancetta, and the remaking oil, and stir all until well coated. Serve hot, sprinkled with some cheese and thyme

Enjoy 🙂
