    Preparation Steps

    1

    Prepare the spaghetti: bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then cook the pasta according to the package directions.

    2

    Meanwhile, dice the bacon and fry in olive oil over medium heat until crispy.

    3

    Peel and mince the garlic. Add the garlic to the crispy bacon and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

    4

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs and mix with grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

    5

    Once the pasta is cooked, drain it, reserving about a cup of pasta water. Immediately add the pasta to the pan with the bacon and garlic.

    6

    Pour the egg mixture over the pasta and quickly toss to combine. The heat from the pasta will gently thicken the eggs, creating a silky sauce. If needed, add a little pasta water to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.

    7

    Serve the carbonara immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper.
