Directions

20 min.
1. Step

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Save 1 cup of pasta water.

2. Step

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and cook the pancetta over medium heat until crispy.

3. Step

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

4. Step

Add freshly cooked pasta to the bowl and stir well. The residual heat from the pasta will cook the eggs and create a creamy sauce.

5. Step

If the sauce seems too thick, add the reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt to taste.

6. Step

Add the cooked pancetta to the bowl and give it a final toss to incorporate all the ingredients together.

7. Step

Serve the carbonara immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Sprinkle extra grated Parmesan cheese on top for an enhanced flavor.
