Spaghetti Carbonara is a traditional Italian pasta dish originating from Rome. It’s made with just a few simple ingredients: spaghetti, eggs, Pecorino Romano cheese, guanciale (cured pork cheek), black pepper, and olive oil. To make the dish, cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. While the pasta cooks, sauté guanciale in olive oil until crispy. In a bowl, whisk together eggs and grated Pecorino cheese. Once the pasta is cooked, toss it with the guanciale and a bit of pasta water to create a creamy sauce. Quickly mix in the egg-cheese mixture off the heat to avoid scrambling the eggs. Finish with freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately for a rich, comforting meal!
