This recipe came up to me after several trials for my husband who loves carbonara.

- The heavy cream can be replaced with either cream and milk mixed together or only milk. Adjust to your preferred level of creaminess and richness.
- In Step 12, you could also reheat in a pan again if a double boiler doesn't work well. Recipe by Chiton

Steps

1

Put all the ingredients marked ● into a mixing bowl and whisk well. A generous amount of black pepper should be good for seasoning. Slice bacon into 1 cm strips.
2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Cook the pasta for 1 to 2 minutes less than instructed on the package.
3

When you're halfway through cooking the pasta, heat olive oil and the garlic in the skillet until fragrant and then sauté the bacon.
4

Drain the pasta in a colander when it's done. Toss into the pan from Step 3 and combine briskly.
5

When the pasta is coated well with oil, transfer into the bowl from Step 1 and combine with the sauce thoroughly. Tipe: It's done when the sauce is slowly cooked to a creamy texture.
6

When the sauce is still watery at Step 5, toss back into the pan and mix briskly over low heat.
7

Serve immediately, garnished with black pepper and it's done!
8

Authentic variation using a bowl: Prepare a large mixing bowl (larger than the bowl from Step 1, so that you can pour the pasta cooking water in later). Follow Steps 1-3.
9

When the pasta is cooked, drain the pasta in a colander. Pour water into the larger bowl in the bottom to heat later.
10

Follow Steps 3 and 4.
11

Put everything together into the reserved bowl with the sauce from Step 1...
12

Toss briskly with the sauce in a double boiler. It's done when the spaghetti is well coated in the creamy sauce! (See Helpful Hints.)
