Recipe for spaghetti carbonara:

Ingredients:

8 oz. of spaghetti

4 ounces of chopped pancetta or bacon

2 minced garlic cloves and 2 big eggs

grated Pecorino Romano cheese, half a cup

Freshly ground black pepper and salt

garnishing with fresh parsley

Directions:

As directed on the packaging, cook the spaghetti in a big pot of salted boiling water until al dente. After draining the spaghetti, save 1/2 cup of the cooking water.

Cook the pancetta or bacon until crisp and browned in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for an additional minute after adding the garlic, minced.

Mix the eggs, Pecorino Romano cheese, and a dash of black pepper in a small bowl.

Cooked spaghetti should be added to the skillet along with any pancetta or bacon. After mixing everything together, turn off the heat in the skillet.

Spaghetti should be immediately coated with the egg and cheese mixture that has been added to the skillet. Spaghetti's heat will cook the eggs, resulting in a creamy sauce. Add some of the saved pasta boiling water to the sauce if it seems too thick.

Serve the spaghetti carbonara hot, topped with more grated cheese and fresh parsley.
