How to cook spaghetti alla carbonara

The list

If you can't find pecorino get some parmigiano

Use good products to get a good outcome.

Guanciale, which is unsmoked Italian bacon prepared with pig's jowl or cheeks. Fail to find that, use pancetta.. Or bacon would work too.

Roll and chop

And chop.

Peel the garlic

Put a pot of water on the fire

While you wait, crack the egg into a bowl. Use fresh eggs or you will meet our friend salmonella.

Pepper

Liquid gold

Mix mix

Add salt to the water

Cook enough for one person.. About one-hundred grams

Cook it for the time that says in the package. Or one minute less, if you like it al dente

Get your blue strainer ready for action

Put a small pan on the fire

Add your pancetta and garlic and fry it together.

Check your pasta.

Drain once it's done

Put on top of the pot so it doesn't drip everywhere. Do this steps quickly so the pasta doesn't cool off.

Take the garlic off

Add your pasta.

Let it gain some temperature. Mix mix.

Easy cheesy.

Ready for some lady and the tramp situation.

Soak bread in the remaining sauce. You will have more sauce left if you eat with chopsticks

Eat a nectarine if it helps.
