There is no much to say about this recipe. Classic Pasta alla Carbonara is all about fresh and quality ingredients. Rich smokey bacon, free range eggs and Pecorino cheese is all you need to create beautiful and creamy sauce.
Pecorino cheese is hard and salty Italian cheese mostly often used for grating and it is very similar to Parmesan with one big difference. Pecorino is made out of sheep’s milk, where Parmesan is made out of cow’s milk. Even though you can use Parmesan for this recipe, Pecorino will give this recipe a distinct note which will make this pasta alla carbonara different from the ones you’ve created before.
Pasta should be cooked per instruction, but be sure it is al dente because it will also cook for a couple of minutes in the pan.
NO SALT for this recipe, bacon and Pecorino are more than enough!
