Viewed: 8 - Published at: 9 years agoIngredients
- 180 grams Spaghetti (or Fettucine if available)
- 1 1/2 tbsp to 2 liters of water Salt for boiling the pasta
- 1 Olive oil
- 70 grams Salted pork - see(or thickly cut bacon)
- 2 large Fresh Egg
- 4 tbsp Parmigiano Reggiano (grated. Or use pre-grated parmesan cheese)
- 1 Coarsely ground black pepper
Method
- Bring a large pot of well-salted water and boil the pasta.
- (For a chewy pasta and for seasoning).
- [Basic] Boil with well-salted water to make the pasta well seasoned and give it a clearer taste.
- It's not necessary to add more salt when stirring the pasta in a frying pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg with the Parmigiano Reggiano, black pepper, and salt until the egg becomes fluffy.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan.
- Fry the pork with low heat.
- The pork fat releases oil so you don't need to use too much.
- If there's too much oil, take it off with a paper towel.
- When the pork is crispy, cool it down a bit and put it into the bowl with the eggs.
- Add the fat from the pork, too.
- (it has a good taste)
- When the pasta is ready, lift it from the water with pasta tongs and put it in the bowl and mix it.
- Tip: Don't drain the pasta too much.
- Use the heat of the pasta to coat the strands well with the egg liquid.
- Serve topped with Parmesan cheese (not listed in the ingredients) and a generous amount of ground pepper.
- Enjoy!
- This classic recipe is really simple, and tastes rich but not cloying.
- Who added cream to Carbonara, the Americans?
- Or was it the Japanese?
- The authentic taste is similar to the classic Japanese dish of raw egg mixed with hot rice.
