A restaurant-style dinner right from the comfort of your own home. And dinner’s ready in under 20 minutes. This is the famous Spaghetti alla Carbonara, one of the most famous Italian recipes.
Who can blame the Italians for being pasta fanatics? If you can get big flavours from simple ingredients, and there no need to slave away for hours in the kitchen, l’m in. Although l probably wouldn’t eat pasta every day, no matter how much l love it.
Spaghetti carbonara is one of the most popular Italian pasta dishes, and there are so many variations out there, some of them being way too complicated and use cream, which makes the sauce too heavy.
The actual basic recipe only requires eggs, which, together with the parmesan and bacon lardons make the best accompaniment to pasta, of any shape, although spaghetti are the more popular version.
If you are worried about raw eggs, no need to worry actually, as the eggs are cooked in the residual heat left from the cooked pasta. For an eggless variation of this dish, why not try my Garlic Bacon Pasta?
