Notes:
These values reflect the sum of nutrients from the following primary ingredients: spaghetti, bacon, egg yolks, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Keep in mind that variations in brands or specific ingredient sources can slightly alter the nutritional values.
Ingredients:
- 10 ounces of spaghetti
- 3 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 cup of chopped bacon
Method:
Step 1:
Start by frying the bacon in a pan with some olive oil and salt. When it is nicely fried and crispy, transfer it onto a plate.
Step 2:
Next, boil the spaghetti with some salt and 1/2 tsp oil. Meanwhile, I mix the cheese with the egg yolks to make a creamy yellow paste in a bowl.
Step 3:
Boil the spaghetti for 7-8 minutes on medium to high heat. When it’s done, remove the spaghetti from the water and put it in the bowl with the cheese and egg yolks. Mix it well. Add some salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of spaghetti water to make it creamy. Finally, add the crispy bacon on top. Garnish with some Parmesan cheese. The classic spaghetti carbonara is ready to eat.
