Cook some pancetta or guanciale in a pan on low heat until crispy and rendered. While it cooks, mix ~100g Parmesan or Romano with 2 eggs and 2 yolks (separated from their whites). Cook your pasta, when itโs done save about a cup of pasta water. Strain and toss the pasta in the rendered fat from the meat, then with no heat pour the cheese/egg mixture over the pasta. Mix it well and add some pasta water if itโs too thick. You shouldnโt need cream for Carbonara, and if your eggs begin to curdle โฌ๏ธ
Your pan is still too hot. I canโt stress enough that the heat of the pasta should be enough to finish the sauce. Then add pepper to taste and, if you removed the pancetta/guanciale from the pan to toss, add it back in now. Everything only takes maybe 30 minutes. I should add that this recipe is for a pound of pasta, I generally cook for four people so we need a lot. I would make a significantly smaller portion if youโre cooking just for yourself.
LMAOOO best of luck ๐ Carbonara makes great leftovers too so if you donโt end up finishing it you just have another meal ๐ค If you want to take it a bit slower, mix the eggs and cheese ahead of time and cook the pancetta/guanciale ahead of time (6-8oz for the recipe above, forgot to say!). As long as the pasta is still hot when you combine everything itโll work out well :)
