What’s better than authentic Italian food at home? Alfredo might be the famous Italian pasta dish in America, but it has nothing on our creamy carbonara sauce! If you’re looking for the best Italian recipe or best pasta recipe, well you found it here. We serve fresh pasta to San Diego daily and were voted the best Italian restaurant in the Gaslamp District, so we know a thing or two about traditional Italian recipes.
This is one easy Italian dish to make with only 10 steps. Begin by the boiling a pot of salt water, then cooking the Paccheri pasta (or pasta of your choice) in it for 12 minutes until pasta is al dente. While the pasta is cooking, add oil to your skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. When oil ripples, add onion, pancetta, and a pinch of salt to the pan and sauté. Sauté for a few minutes before adding butter.
Once pancetta is thoroughly cooked, pour in the heavy cream, stirring as you go. Now you’ll leave the pan until the dish is simmering, which is when you’ll add 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese and mix it in. After mixing in the cheese, strain pasta and add pasta to the sauce in the skillet, flipping to coat. Finally, you’ll add in the 2 fresh farmed egg yolks by mixing them into the sauce, right before plating the pasta dish.
