Spaghetti carbonara

I always cook live on YouTube and Facebook from 11am. Now it's the turn of spaghetti carbonara.

Spaghetti carbonara is not supposed to be that old: The US occupying forces are said to have helped invent the dish after the Second World War, as eggs and bacon were the main ingredients available. A good carbonara consists of just a few ingredients that make for a wonderfully simple dish.

Ingredients

  • Spaghetti
  • Eggs
  • Guanciale or pancetta
  • Parmesan or pecorino
  • Black pepper

Recipe

  • Cook the spaghetti according to the instructions, set aside a glass of pasta water
  • Cut the pancetta into thick cubes and fry well in the cast iron pan
  • Mix 2 eggs, 1 egg white, plenty of freshly grated Parmesan and pepper to make a sauce, add the drained pancetta
  • Mix the drained spaghetti very well with the sauce and add a little pasta water until a sauce-like consistency is achieved

When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
