Spaghetti Carbonara

I love Italian food. I had legit spaghetti carbonara one time and fell in love. Ever since then I’ve been on a mission to find a carbonara recipe that is just as delicious. This is the carbonara recipe I’ve been waiting for!

Ingredients:

• 12 oz Spaghetti

• 7 oz guanciale (or pancetta or thick cut bacon)

• 2 whole eggs

• 4 egg yolks

• 4 ounces of pecorino romano cheese

• Ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

• Cut the guanciale into small cubes

• Simmer in a pan over medium heat until lightly browned and cooked through

• Turn off heat and set pan aside (do NOT drain oil)

• Mix eggs and cheese together

• Cook your pasta until al dente

• Drain the pasta and add spaghetti to the pan with the guanciale

• Turn heat to high and toss the spaghetti with the guanciale and oil

• When the spaghetti and guanciale are sizzling, remove the pan from the heat

• quickly add your egg cheese mixture and stir together until the cheese has melted

• If you notice that the carbonara is too liquidy add more cheese.

• Top with freshly ground black pepper and more cheese

• Serve immediately

ENJOY!
