Steps:
- 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain and reserve about 1 cup of pasta water.
- 2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet cook pancetta over medium heat until slightly crispy; set aside with all the drippings.
- 3. While the pancetta is cooking, in a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and yolks with Parmigiano-Reggiano, parsley and generous amount of salt and pepper to taste. After draining the pasta, return it to the pot and add the pancetta and drippings. Working quickly, add the egg and cheese mixture stirring everything together until the noodles are coated and creamy. Add pasta water, as needed, to loosen the noodles slightly if the sauce becomes too thick. Season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Transfer to serving bowls and serve hot with additional cheese.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh eggs, good quality Parmesan cheese, and pancetta or guanciale will make a big difference in the flavor of your sauce.
- Cook the pancetta or guanciale until it is crispy: This will add a lot of flavor to the sauce.
- Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked until they are just set, but still slightly runny.
- Add the pasta to the sauce and toss it immediately: This will help the sauce to coat the pasta evenly.
- Serve the pasta immediately: Carbonara is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.
Conclusion:
Carbonara is a classic Italian dish that is simple to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich, creamy sauce, salty pancetta or guanciale, and gooey egg yolks, it's a dish that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give carbonara a try. You won't be disappointed!
