Spaghetti carbonara

Mmmmm creamy (but don't even think about adding cream).

Ingredients

  • 200g spaghetti (and some of the pasta water)
  • 2 eggs
  • 40g parmigiano
  • 75g pancetta

Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta water and get the spaghetti cooking (remember to add salt).
  2. Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a fork, and add in the grated cheese and black pepper.
  3. Fry up the pancetta in a pan large enough to hold the final dish. Add the spaghetti when it's ready and mix it together, adding a spoon or two of some of the pasta water.
  4. Remove from the heat, and add the egg and cheese mixture, stirring and tossing it all together until it's glossy.
  5. Serve with grated parmigiano and more black pepper.

Serves 2.
