Ingredients
Show ingredients
- spaghetti – 200 g;
- cream (35%) – 100 ml;
- bacon – 150 g;
- hard cheese (Parmesan) – 50 g;
- yolks – 3-4 pcs. (depending on the size of the eggs);
- garlic – 2-3 cloves;
- salt – to taste;
- bitter pepper or pepper mix – to taste.
Preparation
- Prepare all the ingredients as per the list.
- To make pasta "Carbonara," prepare hard wheat spaghetti.
- The dish cooks quickly, so first put a large pot of water on the stove, bring it to a boil, add salt, and send the spaghetti to cook. Boil the pasta until al dente, that is, slightly undercook it.
- While the spaghetti is boiling, prepare the other ingredients. Cut the bacon into thin slices, and then chop it into strips. The pieces should not be too small, so the bacon remains soft and doesn't completely render while frying.
- Garlic can be pressed through a garlic press, but it's better to chop it with a knife.
- Finely chop the parsley.
- Grate the hard cheese on a fine grater.
- Prepare the ingredients for the creamy egg mixture.
- Place the ingredients in a separate bowl and mix them with a whisk. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Put the frying pan on the stove, add the bacon. Fry over medium heat until golden brown. Monitor the bacon to ensure that it remains soft in the middle, and try not to overcook it.
- By this time, the spaghetti is already cooked, drain them in a colander.
- Add the chopped garlic to the bacon. Let the garlic "unfold" and "combine" with the bacon for a couple of minutes, then add the parsley, and immediately turn off the heat. Add the spaghetti to the pan with the bacon, mix them. Both the bacon and the spaghetti are still very hot; at this moment, it is essential to add the creamy egg mixture and mix well. While we stir the pasta, the cream will "set," and the yolks will warm up and cook.
- Pasta carbonara with bacon and cream is ready. Transfer it to a serving plate, additionally season with grated cheese and herbs. Serve on the table.
