Tips

• Use high-quality ingredients. Since there are so few ingredients in this recipe, it is important to use the best quality you can find. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese and high-quality pancetta or bacon will make a big difference in the flavor of your carbonara.
• Make sure your spaghetti is al dente. This means it should be cooked until it is tender but still has a bit of bite to it. Overcooked spaghetti can become mushy and ruin the texture of your carbonara.
• Take the skillet off the heat before adding the egg and cheese mixture. This will prevent the eggs from scrambling and ensure a smooth and creamy sauce.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Since the pancetta and Parmesan cheese are already salty, you may not need to add much salt to your carbonara. Taste as you go and adjust accordingly.
