Tagliatelle Carbonara
Cooking time: 30 mins
SERVES: 2
Ingredients
200g tagliatelle
100g Pancetta (cut into lardons)
3 x Egg Yolk
100g Pecorino (finely grated)
Salt & Cracked Black Pepper (to taste).
Method
- On a medium heat, cook your pasta in seasoned boiling water. Set aside the pasta and keep the water.
- In a medium sized bowl, mix together the yolks and pecorino.
- In a large, deep frying pan on a medium heat, fry your pancetta until crispy and golden brown.
- Pour in your pasta and stir until coated in the pancetta oils.
- Add a little pasta water into your yolk & pecorino and stir before pouring into the pasta.
- Mix and toss this until you reach a creamy glossy consistency, adding more pasta water as needed to make it saucy.
- Season with salt if needed (the pancetta may be salty enough) and cracked black pepper.
Pour onto a plate, top with pecorino, black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil … and ENJOY!
