400grspaghetti
150grguanciale or bacon
100grpecorino cheese (sheep's cheese)
3egg yolks
1egg
salt
Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preparation of spaghetti
Put a pan of water on the boil and add a little salt. When it is boiling, add the spaghetti and let it cook for the time indicated on the package. Stir the pasta to prevent it from sticking.
Preparation of the carbonara sauce
In a bowl put the yolks and the egg, and add the grated cheese. Mix everything well to get a homogeneous sauce.
Cut the guanciale into small cubes and put them in a frying pan on the fire. Let them fry until all the fat is removed. When it is done, remove it from the heat, take out the meat and put the fat in the pan.
The union of all the ingredients
Pour a couple of ladles of the cooking water from the spaghetti into the pan with the fat and put it back on the heat.
When the spaghetti is al dente, drain it and put it in the pan with the broth. Stir the pasta well with the broth until it gains consistency, and remove it from the heat. Let it rest for 30 seconds and cool slightly.
It is time to add the egg-cheese mixture to the pan with the spaghetti. Stir until you get a very creamy carbonara sauce. Finally, add the guanciale cubes and season with black pepper and grated cheese.
