Salsa alla Carbonara
Instructions
- 100g smoked streaky bacon
- 50g grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 eggs
- a few tablespoons single cream
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- Put a few tbsp of the oil into a small pan. Add the bacon cut into small strips and fry well.
- Beat the eggs in a basin, just enough to blend the yolks with the whites. Add the grated cheese, sat. and pepper and beat again, adding, if you wish, a few tbsp of cream.
- Boil and drain the pasta that you are using (I generally use spaghetti) and tip it, very hot, into a large warm bowl.
- Quickly add the bacon and the beaten eggs and cheeses and stir so that the eggs cook slightly in the heat from the other ingredients.
- Serve at once. Serves 4. I often add other ingredients, most usually a few pine kernels with. the bacon. Mushrooms or/and shallots are other pleasant additions.
