Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free spaghetti
- 4 ounces Pancetta
- 4 units Large eggs
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, cut the pancetta into small cubes. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pancetta until crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper until well combined.
Return the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta and garlic, tossing to combine.
Slowly add the egg and cheese mixture to the pasta while tossing continuously. Work quickly and make sure the residual heat from the pasta and skillet cooks the egg mixture, creating a creamy sauce that coats the spaghetti.
If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach the desired consistency.
Season the pasta with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the Gluten-Free Classic Spaghetti Carbonara immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.
