Spaghetti carbonara

Carbonara the Italian way, no cream: eggs and cheese loosened with pasta water make the sauce.

Ingredients

• 🍝Pasta400 g
• 🥚Eggs4
• 🧀Grated cheese80 g
• •Bacon lardons150 g
• •Pepper
• •Salt

Method

1. Cook the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling salted water, as the packet says.
2. Meanwhile, fry the lardons in a large dry frying pan over medium heat for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
3. Beat the eggs with the grated cheese and plenty of pepper.
4. Drain the pasta, keeping a ladle of the cooking water, and tip it into the pan with the bacon.
5. Off the heat, add the egg mixture and a splash of the water and toss briskly for 1 minute until the sauce coats the pasta.
6. Serve at once with more black pepper.

💡 Tip : Keep it off the heat or the eggs scramble: the heat of the pasta is enough to cook them.
