Original Spaghetti Carbonara!

-

Spaghetti alla Carbonara are a typical dish of Lazio cuisine, especially Roman, prepared quickly by cooking pasta al dente and then moving it into a pan with bacon, eggs, pepper and pecorino.
Even today the origin of the carbonara remains very uncertain indeed there are many hypotheses about it. 
Now the spaghetti alla carbonara are famous throughout Italy and in the world, thanks above all to its goodness, the result of simple but quality ingredients.
One of the basic things to prepare this dish is that the egg must be poured over the dough over a low heat as it should not be cooked but only slightly solidified, creating a sort of cream that will bind to the dough to get a riot of flavor.

 Difficulty: Low
Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking: 15 minutes
Portions: 4 people
Ingredients: 
  • Spaghetti 400 g
  • Bacon 200 g
  • Yolks 6 
  • Extra virgin olive oil as needed
  • Pecorino or parmesan cheese 50 g 
  • Fine salt as needed
  • Black pepper as needed
Preparation: 

As a first step to prepare this dish you have to put a pot of water to cook the pasta. In the meantime you have to cut the bacon into a small strips.


Pour the oil in a non-stick frying pan, let it heat a little and then add the pieces of bacon and sautè for about 15 minutes on medium heat, be careful not to burn it. When you see the water in the pot boil put the spaghetti with salt and cook al dente. See - How to cook pasta 
In the meantime pour the yolks in a bowl, add also most of the cheese provided by the recipe, the part that will remain will serve to garnish the dough.

Season with black pepper, and mix everything with a fork. Add a tablespoon of pasta cooking water to dilute the dough and stir.
Meanwhile the bacon will come to cooking turn off the heat and keep it aside. Drain the pasta al dente directly into the pan with the bacon helping you with a net ( in order to keep a bit of cooking water for later) and turn briefly to flavor it. 


Remove the pan with the pasta from the heat and pour the dough of eggs and cheese, turn the spaghetti to mix and if it should be too dry you can add a little cooking water. 

Serve the Carbonara Spaghetti immediately and season with the advanced cheese and black pepper!
