Spaghetti Carbonara- super easy to make

There are a few classics in the kitchen that everyone loves – just like spaghetti carbonara.

Normally I’m a fan of authentic cuisine, but dear Italy, I know that traditionally only eggs (or egg yolks) go into the classic carbonara. But I just love them with a dash of cream. Sorry! I hope you can forgive me.

But what do you need for Spaghetti Carbonara?

• Spaghetti
• eggs
• bacon
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• freshly grated parmesan cheese

That’s all you need for my spaghetti carbonara and they are ready after about 20 minutes. We like to just serve a mixed salad with it to add a bit of acidity with some balsamic vinegar.

And If you don’t have spaghetti at home, you can certainly also use penne or tagliatelle pasta. They also taste sensational as a carbonara.

Another little tip for you – if you add the spaghetti to the bacon, you should make sure that your pan is on low heat as you don’t want any scrambled eggs 😉

Since I’m a little Parmesan fan, I of course add some Parmesan at the end. Because there is no such thing as too much parmesan for me.

Enjoy your Spaghetti Carbonara!

My wine recommendation for Spaghetti Carbonara:

Try a glass of Italian Merlot with it-it´s an easy-going wine with a smooth finish
