(Homemade) Carbonara
Tried making this after seeing the post here. Not bad for a first try if i say so myself.
No Guanciale so used bacon. 2 yolks and approx 150g mix of parmeggiano reggiano and a “traditional cheese” bag from NTUC. No cream used.
Recipe
Bacon ( I used about 100g streaky bacon ) cut into rough chunks
Black pepper ( to your liking )
2 egg yolks
Parmeggiano Reggiano and another cheese of choice , total 150-160g
Boil pasta till 1 min before al dente
Render fat off bacon until nice and crisp. Remove bacon and keep the oil in the pan
Whisk together yolks and cheese to form a paste. Add black pepper to paste
When pasta is done, add into pan with bacon grease. Heat should be as low as possible or off.
Add egg&cheese paste. Toss until sauce is emulsified. Add pasta water if too dry.
Serve and top with crispy bacon and more black pepper
