Ingredients

• 12 ounces Gluten-free spaghetti
• 6 ounces Pancetta
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, dice the pancetta into small cubes. Mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Reduce the skillet heat to low. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta and garlic. Toss to combine.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat. Immediately pour the egg yolk and Parmesan mixture over the pasta, tossing quickly to coat the noodles. The residual heat will cook the eggs, creating a creamy sauce. If needed, add a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss again to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your gluten-free spaghetti carbonara!
