This is a special recipe developed by carbonara lovers: me wishing for pasta once a week and my husband who used to work at a pasta chain restaurant.

Be sure to remove the pan from heat when pouring the sauce into the pasta for a creamy texture. This will allow the eggs to cook very slowly when it hits the hot pasta but it’ll prevent the eggs from scrambling. For bacon, I recommend a block rather than thin slices. Garlic is optional but we prefer to use plenty, following advice given by my husband who worked in "Ninniku-ya Goemon" (a pasta chain restaurant named after “ninniku,” which is garlic in Japanese).

Steps

1

Slice the block bacon into 5 mm batons and mince the garlic (You could use tubed garlic instead).
2

Heat olive oil and garlic in a skillet and sauté the bacon until as crispy as you wish.
3

Prepare the sauce in a mixing bowl. Whisk heavy cream, grated cheese, black pepper and only 1 of the egg yolks together. Reserve the rest of 2 egg yolks for finishing touches.
4

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and add the spaghetti, stirring occasionally.
5

Tip: If you're handy in the kitchen, you can start by boiling the water and cook the spaghetti while you're doing Steps 1 through 3. Otherwise, follow the directions as listed.
6

Drain the spaghetti when it's cooked. Toss with the bacon in the pan and turn off the heat. Pour the sauce from Step 3 and combine briskly.
7

Transfer to serving plates, make a well in the middle and drop the egg yolk. Combine with the pasta just before eating to enjoy the rich and creamy texture.
