Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large pot, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a large skillet, cook the diced pancetta over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
-
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to combine with the pancetta and garlic.
-
Slowly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta while stirring continuously. The residual heat from the pasta will cook the eggs and create a creamy sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
-
Continue to toss the pasta until the sauce evenly coats the noodles and thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to let the eggs scramble.
-
Remove the skillet from the heat and season the carbonara with additional black pepper and salt to taste.
-
Serve the Easy Carbonara Pasta hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and extra grated Parmesan cheese.
