Classic Spaghetti Carbonara

There’s nothing quite like the creamy, comforting embrace of a Classic Spaghetti Carbonara to make any evening feel special. This timeless Italian dish is surprisingly simple to whip up, turning pantry staples into a luxurious meal.

Ingredients

• 8 oz spaghetti
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 oz pancetta, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.

3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook pancetta until crispy, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Remove skillet from heat and immediately add the drained spaghetti, tossing to coat in the pancetta fat. Quickly stir in the egg mixture, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the sauce is creamy and coats the pasta.
5. Serve immediately, garnished with additional grated cheese and black pepper if desired.

The magic of Carbonara lies in the silky sauce that clings to each strand of pasta, created by the heat of the spaghetti cooking the eggs just enough without scrambling them.

Tip: For an extra smooth sauce, temper the eggs by slowly whisking in a small amount of the hot pasta water before adding them to the spaghetti.
