The One and Only Italian Spaghetti Carbonara

Directions
Preparation:5min  ›  Cook:15min  ›  Ready in:20min 

1. Cook pasta in plenty of lightly salted water until al dente.
2. In the meantime, place the bacon in a frying pan without any fat (oil or butter) and fry until crisp.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the 3 egg yolks and 1 whole egg. Add the cheese, salt and some black pepper, then whisk well. Finally, stir in the crispy bacon.
4. Drain the spaghetti, then immediately transfer to the bowl and toss well to coat in the egg mixture.
5. Serve straightaway and sprinkle with additional cheese and ground black pepper.

Suggestion:

If the egg mixture becomes too thick, add a little of the cooking water from the pasta to dilute the sauce. But remember, the eggs should never be scrambled!
