SIMPLE CARBONARA!🍝🍳🧀 only 4-ingredients & 15 mins stand behind you and this dish. Traditionally, Roman Carbonara is pasta with eggs, hard cheese, cured pork (guanciale or pancetta) and a generous sprinkle of black pepper. I omitted the pork piece, but feel free to add whatever you enjoy.

Instructions

Follow cooking instructions on spaghetti of choice. Linguine also works well with this recipe.

Don’t forget to salt your pasta water generously ~1-2 Tbsp of sea salt! Leave spaghetti slightly al dente and save ~1/3 cup of starchy pasta water to thicken and emulsify your shiny, creamy sauce later.

Once the pasta is ready and hot- whisk eggs and cheese together until no streaks remain and you have a super creamy, smooth consistency. Add half your pasta water to egg and cheese mixture, reserve the rest for the end. Add cooked spaghetti back into stock pot or Dutch oven-but remove from the heat. Slowly pour sauce over the spaghetti and mix it as you go to coat top to bottom. Add the rest of your starchy pasta water. Plate and sprinkle a scrunch of black pepper. It’s a dream. ☁️
