Spaghetti Carbonara is an Italian classic dish that combines pasta, pancetta, eggs, and Parmesan cheese into a creamy, savory sauce. This recipe is one of the simplest and tastiest ways to make a delicious dinner in a short amount of time.
To begin, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the pancetta over medium heat until crisp. Remove the pancetta from the skillet and set aside.
Once the spaghetti is cooked, reserve one cup of the pasta water and drain the spaghetti. Add the spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta and toss to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the egg mixture to the skillet with the spaghetti and pancetta. Toss the spaghetti over low heat until the eggs begin to thicken and form a creamy sauce, about 1-2 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Serve the spaghetti carbonara topped with the reserved pancetta and more Parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy!
