Description

The true recipe of this traditional Roman dish is famously a topic of much debate between chefs and foodies alike. We’re honouring this popular pasta dish with a simple but delicious Tonnarelli alla Carbonara recipe.

Ingredients

250 g La Tua Pasta Tonnarelli
100 g Pancetta
3 fresh eggs
30 g Pecorino Romano
30 g Parmigiano Reggiano

Please note that some essential ingredients may
be listed in the recipe but not included when purchasing.

Instructions

Dice the Pancetta into cubes and heat in a large frying pan; once golden and crispy, take the pan off the heat.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan add 2.5 litres of salted water and bring to a boil. Put in the Tonnarelli and cook until al dente – about 3-4 minutes.

While the pasta is cooking, crack two eggs and add 1 yolk from the third egg into a bowl and lightly beat; add 30g of Pecorino and 30g of Parmigiano Reggiano to the beaten eggs and mix well.

Remove the cooked pasta from the saucepan with tongs and transfer to the frying pan with the Pancetta. Make sure that some of the starchy pasta water makes it in – this is an essential ingredient which allows you to make an emulsion.

Stir the egg and cheese mixture into the frying pan with the Tonnarelli and Pancetta. The residual heat from the pan & pasta will cook the eggs. Toss everything together until emulsified. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Buon Appetito!
