Ingredients
- 400 grams macaroni pasta
- 150 grams pancetta (or bacon)
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1 large whole egg
- 100 grams Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 80 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni pasta and cook until al dente according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, whole egg, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and a pinch of black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the diced pancetta. Cook the pancetta until crispy and golden, about 5–7 minutes.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked macaroni to the skillet with the pancetta and toss to combine.
Step 6
Slowly pour the egg and cheese mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly to coat the pasta evenly. The residual heat will cook the eggs gently, creating a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add small amounts of reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 7
Season the pasta with another pinch of black pepper and salt to taste. Toss everything thoroughly to combine.
Step 8
Remove from heat and plate the pasta immediately. Garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of freshness, if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your Macaroni Carbonara Supreme!
