No fuss spaghetti carbonara

By Miss Friday's Feast

Whilst I’m not put off by recipes with long lists of ingredients, sometimes we just want something really quick with no fuss so I wanted to include my quick carbonara recipe. I've tried many carbonara recipes, often finding them too thick and stodgy, with far too much cheese. This recipe is surprisingly light for a pasta dish, which is often difficult to achieve and very tasty too.

Preparation

Step 1

Fry the pancetta in the oil over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes until golden and crisp, then set aside.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes, or according to the packet instructions. Drain and return to the pan, then add the eggs and stir until the residual heat from the pasta cooks the egg. Mix in the parmesan, the pancetta lardoons and lots of black pepper, then serve.
