Spaghetti Alla Carbonara: Spaghetti in an egg, cream, smoked ham and parmesan cheese sauce.
Ingredients:
225g spaghetti
150g smoked pancetta, sliced
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp finely-grated Pecorino Romano cheese
4 tbsp double cream
freshly-ground
black pepper, to taste
shavings of Pecorino Romano cheese to garnish
Method:
Cook the pasta by boiling in lightly-salted water until just al dente (about 15 minutes to 20 minutes). Meanwhile add the oil to a pan and use to fry the pancetta until crisp and golden.
Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, grated cheese and cream in a bowl and season liberally with black pepper. When the pasta is ready drain in a colander (do not drain completely) then return to the saucepan and add the pancetta (along with any cooking oil) then tip in the egg and cream mixture.
Stir everything together so that the pasta gets an even coating of the egg and cream mixture (the heat from the pasta will cook the eggs) then serve in deep pasta bowls and garnish with shavings of the Pecorino Cheese.
