Spaghetti alla Carbonara (1)
* 70-100 grams of sliced pancetta, cut into smallish pieces
* 1/4 cup grated Parmesano Reggiano cheese (more if you’re using a fine microplane grater*)
* 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese (more if you’re using a fine microplane grater*)
* 1 egg, plus 1 egg yolk (ideally is eggs freshly from free hen from the farmers,should be at room temperature)
* 200 grams of spaghetti Barilla
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* Lots of freshly ground black pepper
Method:
1. Fry the pancetta in the olive oil over medium-low heat until it is nice and golden and starting to get crispy. (Frying low and slow renders off more fat and makes it crispier without burning.)
2. Mix the egg and egg yolk in a small bowl with a tablespoon or two of water (you don’t have to beat it like crazy, just mix it up a bit).
3. Mix 3/4 of the cheese in with the eggs.
4. Boil the pasta until it is al dente.
5. When the pasta is ready, strain it in a colander and immediately dump it back into the pot.
6. Toss the egg-cheese mix into the hot pasta and stir it up so the heat of the pasta cooks the egg and everything gets nicely integrated.
7. Let it sit for about a minute, then scratch in a lot of freshly ground pepper, and add the pancetta along with some or all of the pan drippings (depending on how much saturated fat you are comfortable with**) and toss.
8. When everything is sufficiently mixed, divide into warm bowls and top with the rest of the cheese. (No salt is needed – between the pancetta and the cheeses, it’s plenty salty.)
Enjoy With one glass of wine red!!...
