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 itโ€™s 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 itโ€™s too thick. You shouldnโ€™t need cream for Carbonara, and if your eggs begin to curdle โฌ‡๏ธ

Your pan is still too hot. I canโ€™t 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 youโ€™re cooking just for yourself.

LMAOOO best of luck ๐Ÿ˜‚ Carbonara makes great leftovers too so if you donโ€™t end up finishing it you just have another meal ๐Ÿ˜ค 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 itโ€™ll work out well :)

I like my Carbonara a little thicker so I can see why youโ€™d say it looks a little dry. Itโ€™s definitely anything but bland, though, the pasta is coated in pancetta fat and I use real Parmeggiano Reggiano. Itโ€™s quite flavorful.

Theyโ€™re delicious, trust! They can be a bit of a pain to find, but if youโ€™re on the east coast you can at least find pancetta at Market Basket.
