Carbonara Pasta: The Taste of Italian Cuisine in Motion!
Ingredients:
* Your favorite pasta (e.g., spaghetti) – 200g
* Good-quality bacon or pancetta – 100g
* 3 egg yolks (or 1 whole egg and 2 yolks)
* Hard cheese – 50g
* Salt
* Oil (olive or vegetable)
* Herbs (optional)
Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to the package instructions.
2. In a bowl, combine the egg yolks, a pinch of salt, and grated cheese to form a thick mixture.
3. Two minutes before the pasta is cooked, fry the diced bacon in a pan over medium heat until golden.
4. At the same time, take half a ladle of the pasta cooking water and pour it into the egg-cheese mixture, quickly stirring to combine the ingredients.
5. When the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander, allowing some water to cling to it but not completely drying it.
6. In the same pan where the bacon was cooked, add the drained pasta and fry it with the bacon for about 5 minutes.
7. Add the pasta and bacon to the sauce. Mix thoroughly to ensure the pasta is coated with the sauce.
8. Serve the Carbonara pasta, sprinkled with some grated cheese and herbs to taste.
