Ingredients

How to make it

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Cook bacon or pancetta in oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until golden brown and most of the fat has been rendered, about 8 to 10 minutes, then remove skillet from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, parsley, salt, and red pepper flakes until combined.
  • Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions, until al dente (tender yet still firm to the bite). Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
  • Add hot spaghetti to bacon mixture in skillet and toss well over medium-low heat until pasta is coated. Add egg mixture and a little of the cooking water; toss gently until spaghetti looks creamy. Add cheese and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

    Hey, you make it the same way I do! I'm always seeing carbonara recipes that use cream, which just seems wrong to me.
