Carbonara Recipe
This easy carbonara recipe is a must-try for any pasta lover. It's a classic Italian carbonara that combines the richness of eggs, the creaminess of cheese, and the savory goodness of pancetta or bacon.
Ingredients
- 400 g pasta
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated cheese
- 150 g pancetta or bacon
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- Additional grated cheese and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook your pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, and grated cheese until well combined.
- In a large skillet, cook your choice of pancetta or bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
- Return the cooked pasta to the skillet with the garlic and toss until well coated.
