Cook some pancetta or guanciale in a pan on low heat until crispy and rendered. While it cooks, mix ~100g Parmesan or Romano with 2 eggs and 2 yolks (separated from their whites). Cook your pasta, when it’s done save about a cup of pasta water. Strain and toss the pasta in the rendered fat from the meat, then with no heat pour the cheese/egg mixture over the pasta. Mix it well and add some pasta water if it’s too thick. You shouldn’t need cream for Carbonara, and if your eggs begin to curdle ⬇️

Your pan is still too hot. I can’t stress enough that the heat of the pasta should be enough to finish the sauce. Then add pepper to taste and, if you removed the pancetta/guanciale from the pan to toss, add it back in now. Everything only takes maybe 30 minutes. I should add that this recipe is for a pound of pasta, I generally cook for four people so we need a lot. I would make a significantly smaller portion if you’re cooking just for yourself.

LMAOOO best of luck 😂 Carbonara makes great leftovers too so if you don’t end up finishing it you just have another meal 😤 If you want to take it a bit slower, mix the eggs and cheese ahead of time and cook the pancetta/guanciale ahead of time (6-8oz for the recipe above, forgot to say!). As long as the pasta is still hot when you combine everything it’ll work out well :)

I like my Carbonara a little thicker so I can see why you’d say it looks a little dry. It’s definitely anything but bland, though, the pasta is coated in pancetta fat and I use real Parmeggiano Reggiano. It’s quite flavorful.

The peasants just don’t get it. You took yourself to flavortown. Well done.

They’re delicious, trust! They can be a bit of a pain to find, but if you’re on the east coast you can at least find pancetta at Market Basket.
