@thesecarbsdontcount: The easiest carbonara recipe that turns out perfect every time! Recipe: 1. Cook the spaghetti until al dente in salted water. Reserve 1 cup pasta water. 2. Separate 3 room temp egg yolks and then add them and 1 whole egg to a bowl. 3. Add 1 cup of finely grated, fresh pecorino cheese & 1/2 a cup of parm. Mix vigorously to combine and create a paste. The texture should be smooth. 4. Cook 6oz guanciale or pancetta to a cold pan. Turn heat to medium and cook until crispy and brown. 5. Remove a few spoonfuls of the oil from and then remove your meat from the pan. 6. Add two spoonfuls of reserved oil & a generous amount of pepper to your egg/cheese paste then mix to combine. Stir in a little bit of pasta water. 7. Remove your pan from the heat and let cool for a minute ( the pan should still be hot) . Add your cooked pasta to this pan (still off heat) along with the egg mixture and a dash of pasta water. 8. Mix quickly so that the egg doesn’t scramble then add 1/2 cup pecorino, the cooked pancetta/ guanciale & a dash more pasta water. Mix quickly adding more cheese/water as needed until creamy. 10. Top with more pepper & cheese and enjoy #carbonara #pasta
