Italian “pasta alla carbonara”

A very simple and delicious italian recipe, the “pasta alla carbonara“.
WHAT YOU NEED: spaghetti, italian guanciale or pancetta (the first one is the lard from the pig’s cheek and it’s more fat, the second is the pork underbelly, aka bacon), eggs, grated pecorino cheese, black pepper, salt.

Put water in a pot and boil it.
Cut the guanciale/pancetta in cubes (the more the better )
When the water boil put salt and spaghetti (100-150g per person).
In a nonstick pan cook the guanciale/pancetta (you can put olive oil if the fat is not enough to fry the cubes).
In a bowl mix the eggs with a little pecorino cheese and pepper (1 egg per person).
When the spaghetti are ready, drain and put in the pan with the guanciale/pancetta and mix everything (no more fire at this point! turn everything off!).
Add the eggs and mix. Put in a plate and eat. You can also add more grated pecorino cheese or black pepper.

BUON APPETITO!
