Pasta Carbonara (Spaghetti alla Carbonara)
Report
With only 5 ingredients, this easy Pasta Carbonara comes together in about as much time as it takes to boil a pot of spaghetti. Egg yolks not only give this pasta a golden yellow hue they create a rich, creamy sauce that's seasoned with nutty Pecorino Romano and Guanciale.

Ingredients
- 220 grams Spaghetti
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 120 grams Guanciale (cut into 3/16-inch batons)
- 1 large egg
- 3 large egg yolks
- 30 grams pecorino romano (grated)
- black pepper (to taste)
- 3 slow cooked eggs (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil (you want about 1 tablespoon of salt per 5 cups of water).
- Boil the spaghetti according to the package directions (usually 8-9 minutes).
- While the pasta is boiling, saute the guanciale in the olive oil until it's browned on the outside. Remove the pan from the heat.
- To make the sauce, whisk together 1 whole egg, 3 egg yolks, the grated Pecorino Romano, and black pepper in a large bowl.
- When the pasta is done, drain it and toss it together with the guanciale.
- Dump the pasta and guanciale into the egg sauce, and quickly toss the spaghetti together with the sauce.
- Plate the pasta, and top with a slow cooked egg along with some extra Pecorino and black pepper.
