🍝 Classic Spaghetti Carbonara 🥓

Satisfy your cravings with a timeless classic that brings a taste of Italy right to your kitchen! Perfect for a busy weeknight or a leisurely weekend meal.

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 🥚 4 large eggs
- 🧂 Salt and black pepper to taste
- 🥓 8 ounces of pancetta or thick-cut bacon, diced
- 🍝 1 pound spaghetti
- 🧀 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 🌿 Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, according to package instructions.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta or bacon and cook until crisp. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, Parmesan, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and then drain the spaghetti.
5. Quickly add the hot spaghetti to the skillet with the pancetta and garlic. Remove from heat and pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta, tossing quickly to combine. The heat of the pasta cooks the eggs gently, creating a creamy sauce.
6. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
7. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
