GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

For the Pasta Carbonara
  • Grab your favorite pasta pot and bring 3 quarts of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the spaghetti and cook for 6 to 8 minutes (for al dente, which we recommend).
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk, cream and parmesan cheese.
  • Pre-heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and bacon and sauté for about 3 minutes or until things are looking nice and crispy.
  • Add your garlic and onion, then sauté them for 1 min.
  • Add the pasta and chopped parsley. Toss the whole thing to combine the ingredients.
  • Pour the egg and cream mixture into the skillet and toss some more to heat the mixture and evenly coat the pasta. You’re almost there!
  • Finish with grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve this dish hot!
