Have you ever tried Authentic Pasta Carbonara? This recipe is not only very easy to make but it’s so delicious and creamy. It’s a go to in my house when I want a meal that’s tasty but simple!
📝Ingredients📝
▪️8oz of spaghetti
▪️6-8oz of pancetta (I use 8 for more meat 🥵)
▪️2cups heavy cream
▪️2 large egg yolks
▪️1 1/2cups of parmigiana cheese
▪️Salt for the pasta water
🍴Steps🍴
1️⃣Start by brining a large pot of water to a boil and salting it well & cooking your spaghetti till al dente.
2️⃣While the pasta cooks we add our pancetta to a large skillet over medium high heat and cook it till it’s crispy. About 7-10 minutes. Once crispy removed from heat.
3️⃣Lower the heat down to medium and add your heavy cream, cheese and egg yolks and mix well. let this melt down, and stir while it thickens.
4️⃣Once your cream mixture has thickened add in your cooked spaghetti and pancetta and mix thoroughly. After 2-3 minutes remove from heat and serve! Top with some basil and cheese and enjoy! #pastarecipes #carbonara #pastacarbonara #authenticitalianfood #italianfood

Not authentic! There is NO cream in Carbonara - the creaminess comes from egg yolks, mixed with Parmesan and pasta water!
