FETTUCCINE CARBONARA



Fettuccine Carbonara image

When a man at church found out how much my family likes fettuccine, he shared his Italian grandmother's carbonara recipe with us. I've made it my own over the last 25 years. Grated Parmesan cheese works just as well as Romano. -Kristine Chayes, Smithtown, New York

SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA



Spaghetti alla Carbonara image

For a quick dinner, whip up Tyler Florence's authentic Spaghetti alla Carbonara recipe, a rich tangle of pasta, pancetta and egg, from Food Network.

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound dry spaghetti
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces pancetta or slab bacon, cubed or sliced into small strips
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 large eggs
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for serving
Freshly ground black pepper
1 handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking to ensure that the spaghetti will be hot and ready when the sauce is finished; it is very important that the pasta is hot when adding the egg mixture, so that the heat of the pasta cooks the raw eggs in the sauce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender yet firm (as they say in Italian "al dente.") Drain the pasta well, reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water to use in the sauce if you wish.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium flame. Add the pancetta and saute for about 3 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered. Toss the garlic into the fat and saute for less than 1 minute to soften.
  • Add the hot, drained spaghetti to the pan and toss for 2 minutes to coat the strands in the bacon fat. Beat the eggs and Parmesan together in a mixing bowl, stirring well to prevent lumps. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the egg/cheese mixture into the pasta, whisking quickly until the eggs thicken, but do not scramble (this is done off the heat to ensure this does not happen.) Thin out the sauce with a bit of the reserved pasta water, until it reaches desired consistency. Season the carbonara with several turns of freshly ground black pepper and taste for salt. Mound the spaghetti carbonara into warm serving bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Pass more cheese around the table.

Pasta Carbonara with Peas image

The trick to this classic pasta dish is to gradually mix the pasta water with the egg so you don't scramble it. Be sure to assemble all of the ingredients before you start cooking the sauce, because this recipe whips up fast!

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 recipe Homemade Pasta, recipe follows
3 large eggs
3/4 cup freshly grated aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, plus more for garnish
6 slices thick-cut bacon
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
Chopped fresh parsley, for sprinkling
5 large eggs, at room temperature
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 3 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain, and set aside.
  • Whisk together the eggs and cheese in a bowl. Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet to paper towels to drain, then chop the bacon. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in the skillet and discard the rest. Add the garlic and peas to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly and scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, until the garlic is fragrant and the peas are warmed through, about 1 minute.
  • Add the bacon and pasta to the skillet and heat over medium heat until hot, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Working quickly, add the egg mixture to the pasta and toss with tongs until the pasta is coated in the sauce. Gradually add a little pasta water at a time to the pasta until a creamy, saucy consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle each serving with parsley and more cheese.
  • Combine the eggs, flour, olive oil, salt and 1 tablespoon water in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until a dough forms, about 10 seconds. Remove the dough from the food processor to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, 4 to 5 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball; wrap with plastic and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the dough in half and keep one half refrigerated. Cut the remaining half into two equal pieces. (Make sure to keep the unused dough pieces covered.)
  • Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough with a rolling pin as thin as possible (but still thick enough to be lifted off the counter without breaking, about a 10-by-16- inch rectangle; the dough should be paper-thin, but you shouldn't be able to see through it.)
  • Dust each dough sheet with flour. Fold the dough in half (using the short ends) and dust the top with flour. Repeat twice more, dusting with flour between each layer to create a stack. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into thin strips (1/4-inch wide).
  • Separate the noodles into "nests" and let dry on a lightly floured surface, about 1 hour. Repeat the process with the remaining dough piece, then with the remaining refrigerated dough.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 slices bacon, chopped fine
2 slices hearty white bread, torn into pieces
1 1/4 cups perorino romano cheese, grated (3 oz)
2 large eggs
1 cup evaporated milk
5 1/4 cups water
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup white wine
1 lb penne pasta

Steps:

  • Fry bacon. Cook bacon in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towel-lined plate. Pour off fat from pan, reserving 3 tablespoons.
  • Prepare topping: Pulse bread, 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, one-quarter of crisp bacon, and 2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat in food processor until coarsely ground. Whisk eggs, milk, remaining cheese, and 3/4 cup water in medium bowl.
  • Simmer pasta. Heat remaining bacon fat in empty skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add garlic and 1 teaspoon pepper and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in wine and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 3 minutes. Stir in remaining water, penne, and 3/4 teaspoon salt and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer covered, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed and pasta is al dente, 15-20 minutes. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat broiler.
  • Add sauce. Off heat, add egg mixture and remaining crisp bacon to pan and toss to combine. Top with bread-crumb mixture and broil until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Cool 5 minutes, serve.

Tips for Making the Best Fettuccine Carbonara:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh eggs, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, and guanciale or pancetta. If you can't find guanciale or pancetta, you can use bacon, but it won't be quite as authentic.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. This means that it should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it.
  • Reserve some of the pasta cooking water. This will help to create a creamy sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the guanciale or pancetta. This will prevent it from crisping up properly.
  • Add the eggs and cheese to the pasta off the heat. This will prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. Fettuccine carbonara is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Fettuccine carbonara is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta recipe, give fettuccine carbonara a try.
