The chef who's recipe I got it from is Tyler Florence and he does a brilliant job in making it.
I have revised the recipe so it would be enough for 2 people.
Ingredients you'll need are:
- 8 oz dry spaghetti
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 oz chopped bacon
- 1 egg
- 1/2 c Parmesan cheese
- fresh parsley
- black pepper
- Cook pasta in salted water and drain Make sure you add salt after the water comes to a boil, the salt gives the pasta flavor
- Reserve 1/4 c of water (or more) This step is absolutely important because without the pasta water, the carbonara becomes dry and inedible
- Heat oil in a skillet on medium, add bacon and saute for 3 minutes
- Toss in garlic for less than a minute Don't cook garlic for over a minute or it will burn
- Add the hot pasta and toss for 2 minutes
- Beat eggs and cheese
- Remove pan from heat Super important, you don't want scrambled eggs in pasta ew
- Pour egg mixture in pasta and whisk fast Again, whisk fast or you will end up with scrambled eggs in your pasta and that is utterly disgusting
- Thin out sauce with pasta water I have already mentioned this before but unless you like crispy pasta, I recommend you use the pasta water
- Season with pepper in parsley
looks so good! Im definitely going to have to consider making this. xo
