This delicious and creamy pasta carbonara is a classic Italian dish that comes together quickly and easily.
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 300 g spaghetti

- 2 egg yolks
- 1 whole egg
- 100 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 garlic cloves
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste

Instructions:
1. Cook the spaghetti in salted water according to the package instructions until al dente.
2. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium heat and add the bacon or pancetta. Cook until crispy.
3. Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for another minute until golden.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, whole egg, and grated Parmesan until smooth.
5. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and reserve a little cooking water. Add the pasta to the pan with the bacon and garlic.
