Classic Spaghetti Carbonara
Ingredients
12 oz spaghetti
4 slices bacon or pancetta, diced
2 large eggs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp black pepper
Salt to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a skillet, cook diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Whisk together eggs, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper in a bowl until smooth.
Combine the hot drained spaghetti with the bacon and garlic in the skillet. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing quickly to create a creamy sauce. Add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
