Spaghetti Carbonara

Ingredients

• Parmesan cheese

  Grated

  ½ cup or 50g

• Egg

  Whole, fresh eggs

  2 large or 100g

• Bacon

  Pork, cured, cooked, pan-fried

  10 strip cooked or 80g

• Spaghetti

  Dry pasta, enriched

  6 oz or 170g

• Olive oil

  Salad or cooking

  2 tbsp or 27g

• Pepper

  Spices, black

  1 dash or 0.1g

Directions

1. Boil a large pot of well salted water, then cook the pasta according to the package directions. For dried spaghetti I usually boil the noodles for 8 minutes rather than the 9 recommended on the package to ensure they are al dente.
2. Combine the Parmesan, egg, olive oil and black pepper in a large bowl and whisk together until the mixture is smooth and there are no clumps of egg whites.
3. Chop the Bacon into batons and add to a pan over medium high heat and fry until cooked through.
4. Drain the pasta (do not rinse), then immediately dump it into the egg mixture. It's important that the pasta be very hot, otherwise the egg mixture won't thicken into a sauce. Add the bacon and toss to coat evenly. Plate your Spaghetti Carbonara and top with a slow cooked egg.
