Being an Italian living abroad, this recipe is particularly important to me, because the "Pasta alla Carbonara", is probably the most misinterpreted italian recipe in the world.
This is my personal "Save the Carbonara from the fakes" campaign :)
The Carbonara has only few rules:

1. No cream 
2. No milk 
3. No onions 
4. No cooked eggs 

So, let's start!











































Ingredients  for 2 people

• 160 gr. spaghetti
• 40 gr. of pecorino romano cheese
• 60 gr. bacon lardons
• salt and pepper
• 2 eggs + 1 yolk

Heat a soucepan at medium flame and add the lardons. You won't need to add any kind of oil or butter because you already have the fat from the bacon. So, cook it until it gets crispy.


Meanwhile, put up to boil the water for the pasta in a large pot and when it's boiling, add the pasta and check the cooking time on the package.


Now combine  the eggs, the pecorino, a pinch of salt and some pepper, in a medium bowl.


For this dish, the pasta must be coocked very "al dente". When it's ready, drain it, leaving just a small amount of cooking water and add the pasta into the soucepan with the bacon.  Now stir, and leave it for 30 seconds,  still keeping it on a medium flame.


Now it's time to add pasta and bacon into the bowl with the eggs, away from the heat.



Stir well and serve straight away!!
