Recipe Introduction
Did you know a traditional carbonara recipe doesn't contain cream? Learn how to make carbonara just like the Italians did back in the day with my recipe.
Cooking Directions
- Place a saucepan on the stove and melt the Butter.
- Finely chop the Onion and once the Butter has melted, add this to the pan along with the Pancetta.
- Fry for 5 minutes, or until the Pancetta begins to turn crisp.
- Cook the Spaghetti until al dente then add to the saucepan of fried Onion and Pancetta.
- Briefly combine the ingredients then remove from the heat.
- Place the Egg Yolks into a jug along with the Parmesan Cheese - mix together until smooth, using some of the starchy water from the Spaghetti if needed.
- Pour into the saucepan then toss the Spaghetti in the Egg Yolk Sauce. Serve and enjoy.
