Spaghetti Carbonara
Serves 4
With simple cooking, it’s all about the ingredients. For my carbonara, I like to use farm-fresh eggs, which make this dish shine. Their yolks are a deep orange, versus the pale yellow of most grocery-store eggs. If you have a local egg farm or farmers’ market, try fresh eggs for yourself. The peas add a nice hint of color.
Salt
7 ounces bacon, cut into 1⁄2-inch dice
1 pound spaghetti
1 cup heavy cream
4 large egg yolks
2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus more for serving
1⁄2 cup frozen green peas, thawed
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1.. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until crispy, turning occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
3. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, according to the package directions, until al dente. Drain.
4. While the pasta is cooking, mix the cream, egg yolks, Parmesan, peas, 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, and the pepper in a large bowl.
5. Add the hot pasta to the cream mixture and toss well. Mix in the bacon and serve immediately with extra Parmesan.
