Cooking Instructions
- 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.)

I made an easy but foolproof recipe.If you cook the egg too long, the sauce becomes crumbly. The key to success is to cook over low or residual heat. Recipe by Itayan

I made pasta carbonara when I was still in Tokyo and before my marriage, my friend and I decided to make carbonara when I had a sleep over at her apartment. We did well back then but I think I have improved little bit 🥰

Simple! Delicious! Authentic Pasta Carbonara Simple! Delicious! Authentic Pasta Carbonara
I was very surprised with the difference when I ate pasta carbonara in Italy.Who first added cream, the Americans? Or the Japanese?Anyway, this classic recipe is really simple and has a rich taste.■ Boiling in well-salted water will result in a chewy texture very much like the pasta cooked in a professional kitchen.It's not effective to season the sauce after transferring the pasta to the pan and pasta will become overcooked in the process.■ If the eggs don't coat the pasta well due to low heat, heat a frying pan, remove from heat, add the pasta in Step 7, and toss well to blend everything.

Carbonara is my favorite dish and I want to eat it a lot at home! You can never cook too much as this can always make you or someone in the family want to have seconds.Be sure to remove the pan onto the damp cloth when pouring the sauce into the pasta. This will prevent the eggs from scrambling. Recipe by Babette29 -

Aiming for a healthier but rich pasta carbonara, I've been researching measurements that use less cream.For the pasta, make sure to minus 1 minute from the cooking time indicated on the package. This is because it will be heated again when combined with bacon From step 3 onwards, I recommend you remove it from the heat because the egg mixture will dry-up when it's heated too much. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add 50 ml of cooking water from the pasta at step 3. For 2 servings. Recipe by Bi-jo -

This is the cheap version of creamy pasta carbonara. I came up with this recipe when I was a college student. A time when mozarella and parmesan are too expensive for a student's budget (^^)

I love pasta carbonara. This is the ratio I came up for the egg to cheese that I enjoyed the most. I prefer Romano to Parmesan due to the higher moisture content.

The basil was growing rampant so I made some pesto sauce. I wasn’t in the mood to eat it. I recently got a deli slicer at a yard sale and wanted to cut some ham for sandwiches. I got a smoked picnic shoulder but I couldn’t cleanly navigate around the massive bone. I’ll do something else with it instead. I decided to pull the fatty skin off and do a version of this instead.
