Two-step carbonara
The simple sauce for this dish can be made in the time it takes to boil the pasta.
Ingredients
– 350g/12oz spaghetti or linguine
– 140g pack diced pancetta or chopped smoked streaky bacon
– 2 tsp olive oil
– 1 garlic clove, crushed
– 1 egg, plus 4 yolks
– 50g/2oz Parmesan, grated
Instructions
Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
Step 2:
Meanwhile, fry the pancetta in the oil for a few minutes until golden and crisp. Add the garlic to the pan, fry for 1 minute, then turn off the heat. Briefly whisk the whole egg and yolks with most of the Parmesan and some seasoning.
Step 3:
Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water. Add the whisked egg and yolks and one tablespoon of cooking water to the pasta, then mix until the pasta is coated and creamy. The heat from the pasta will gently cook the eggs. Stir in the pancetta and garlic then serve, topped with the remaining Parmesan.
