Spaghetti Carbonara step by step
- Cook the spaghetti for the required time..
- While the spaghetti is cooking, fry the bacon/lardon in olive oil until a little bit crunchy. Turn the cooker off so the bacon doesn't burn. It's best to fry the bacon/lardon in a largish, heavy bottomed saucepan as you will be adding the spaghetti to it and need it to retain the heat..
- When the spaghetti is cooked, spoon it into the bacon/lardon mix (retaining the spaghetti water) and give it a good mix to spread the flavour and coat the spaghetti in olive oil. Heat it further if you wish but not too much as it will dry up and fry..
- Beat the eggs. Grate a good couple of handfuls of parmesan into the beaten eggs then pour the eggs and parmesan into the spaghetti mix; mix them in quickly and thoroughly. The eggs should cook in the hot mixture..
- If it looks too dry add a few table spoons of water from the spaghetti saucepan..
- Stir in a tablespoon of creme fraiche and season to taste..
- Pour into a serving dish, top with a generous amount of grated parmesan and garnish with parsley. Job done..
