One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.

Spaghetti Alla Carbonara

Cooking time: 10 min


Preparation: 15 min, for 4 people


Ingridients:

150 g - bacon
2 tblsp - olive oil
100 g - parmesan cheese (or other)
pinch - ground pepper
350 g - spaghetti
4 - egg yolks
1 - whole egg


Method:

Add a little bit of salt into the water, reflecting the fact that there will be a very savory sauce made of bacon and cheese. Put spaghetti into the boiling water. 

Meanwhile, cut the bacon into small cubes or strips, with the addition of olive oil fry on the pan until the fat becomes transparent and slightly crispy. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly. 

Beat eggs in a bowl and add cheese, ground pepper (accordingly to your taste). Add salt if necessary. 

Drain the pasta, heat it on the pan and pour into a bowl together with previously prepared mixture. Stare the spaghetti and immediately add more black pepper if needed.
