Indulge in a decadent dish of classic Carbonara with crisp pancetta and velvety egg sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 400g penne rigate
  • 200g pancetta or bacon rashers
  • 150g parmesan, finely grated
  • 125.00 ml chopped fresh continental parsley
  • 18.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 eggs, lightly whisked
Instructions:
  • Boil the pasta in a generous amount of salted water until just tender. Drain and put it back in the saucepan.
  • Place pancetta in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Cook, turning, half the pancetta for 5 minutes until golden and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, keeping the fat in the pan. Repeat with the rest of the pancetta. Coarsely chop and set aside.
  • Pour the pasta into the flavorful pancetta fat in the pan and gently stir for 1 minute until evenly coated. Take the pan off the heat and let it cool for 1 minute. Mix in the crispy pancetta, savory parmesan, fresh parsley, and a drizzle of oil until well combined. Swiftly fold in the egg until the pasta is nicely coated. Sprinkle with some freshly ground pepper to taste.
