How to make Spaghetti Carbonara
Begin by cooking the pasta in salted water until it reaches the al dente stage, following the instructions on the package. Remember to reserve some of the cooking water before draining the pasta.
While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a frying pan and cook the Pancetta or bacon until it becomes crisp and golden brown.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cheese, and pepper until well combined, and set aside.
Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the frying pan with the cooked pancetta/bacon, stirring to coat the pasta evenly. Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Next, add the egg and cheese mixture to the pasta, stirring thoroughly to coat the pasta with the creamy sauce. If needed, add a splash of the reserved cooking water to achieve the desired consistency.
Serve the pasta immediately, ensuring each serving is piping hot and delicious.
