5 CARBONARA PASTA HOW TO COOK CARBONARA PASTA Bring a large, deep pan of salted water to the boil. Plunge spaghetti into the water, stir well and cook, following pack instructions. Take a spaghetto out of the water with a spaghetti spoon or tongs 1-2 mins before the end of the cooking time and bite into it. Repeat until you think it is properly cooked. Fry the pancetta (Bacon). Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan. When hot, tip in the pancetta. Be careful: do not crisp the pancetta too much; it will be cooked a little bit more later on, in the recipe. Remove from the heat and set aside. Prepare the sauce. Crack 2 eggs into a mixing bowl. Separate the yolk from the third egg. Tip the yolk into the other eggs and beat together, along with the cream, the cheese and some seasoning. Combine the dish. Add garlic to the pancetta and put the frying pan on the hob. Fry over high heat for 1 min or until garlic is cooked and pancetta warmed through. Meanwhile, strain spaghetti. Pour egg mixture over pasta, followed by hot pancetta, garlic, any fat and oils. Mix until it has thickened to a smooth, creamy sauce and serve it. ENJOY YOUR PASTA!! Margherita Zagagnin
