Methods
Ingredients
- 400g Bambino Pasta (spaghetti, fusilli, penne or macaroni)
- 3 large eggs
- 100g Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnishing
- Veggies or meat of choice (optional)
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add in Bambino Pasta of choice and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Save about 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside
- Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and veggies and meat of choice stir frequently to avoid burning
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and grated Parmesan (or Pecorino) cheese. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper. This will form the creamy base for the carbonara pasta sauce
- Once the Bambino Pasta of choice is cooked and drained, immediately add it to the pan with the garlic and veggies/meat of choice. Turn off the heat to prevent the eggs from scrambling
- Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the pasta while tossing quickly to combine. The heat from the pasta will cook the eggs just enough to create a silky sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed
- Garnish with fresh parsley, and serve your delicious carbonara pasta immediately
