Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or unsalted butter
1/2 pound pancetta or thick cut bacon, diced
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced, about 1 tsp (optional)
3 to 4 whole eggs
1 cup grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese
1 pound spaghetti (or bucatini or fettuccine)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Put a large pot of salted water on to boil (1 tablespoon salt for every 2 quarts of water).
While the water is coming to a boil, heat the olive oil or butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the bacon or pancetta and cook slowly until crispy.
Add the garlic (if using) and cook another minute, then turn off the heat and put the pancetta and garlic into a large bowl.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs and mix in about half of the cheese.
Once the water has reached a rolling boil, add the dry pasta, and cook, uncovered, at a rolling boil.
When the pasta is al dente (still a little firm, not mushy), use tongs to move it to the bowl with the bacon and garlic.
Let it be dripping wet.
Reserve some of the pasta water.
Move the pasta from the pot to the bowl quickly, as you want the pasta to be hot.
It's the heat of the pasta that will heat the eggs sufficiently to create a creamy sauce.
Toss everything to combine, allowing the pasta to cool just enough so that it doesn't make the eggs curdle when you mix them in.
Add the beaten eggs with cheese and toss quickly to combine once more.
Add salt to taste.
Add some pasta water back to the pasta to keep it from drying out.
Serve at once with the rest of the parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
If you want, sprinkle with a little fresh chopped parsley.

Indulge in the timeless elegance of authentic Pasta Carbonara, a classic Roman dish that transforms simple ingredients into culinary magic. This silky, creamy pasta doesn't rely on heavy cream—just the perfect emulsion of eggs, cheese, and pasta water creates that luxurious texture. Studded with crispy pancetta and laced with sharp Parmesan, each twirl of spaghetti delivers the perfect balance of savory richness. Ready in under 30 minutes, it's the ultimate comfort food that proves sometimes the simplest recipes are the most spectacular. - Claude

💬 Uncle Dave says...
This recipe uses raw eggs. They need to be tossed with the pasta while the pasta is still very hot in order for the eggs to cook properly.
