Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked macaroni to the skillet with the pancetta and toss to combine.
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.
Season the pasta with another pinch of black pepper and salt to taste. Toss everything thoroughly to combine.
Remove from heat and plate the pasta immediately. Garnish with chopped parsley for a touch of freshness, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Macaroni Carbonara Supreme!
