Penne Alla Carbonara

8 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces pancetta, cut into matchsticks
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • sea salt
  • ground pepper (fresh)
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 4 ounces cream
  • 5 ounces parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 9 ounces penne

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large pan fry the pancetta in olive oil, slowly, so that it releases its own fat before becoming crisp. Add some black pepper.
  2. 2
    Beat the egg yolks with the cream and season with salt and pepper. Add half of the parmesan.
  3. 3
    Meanwhile, cook the penne (according to package directions) in a large pot of salted boiling water and then drain thoroughly.
  4. 4
    Combine immediately with the hot pancetta and the oil, and then pour in the cream mixture. Stir to coat each pasta piece; the heat from the hot pasta will cook the egg slightly.
  5. 5
    Finally add the remaining Parmesan and serve.
