- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Step-by-step
Choose your robot:
- Put the oil and pancetta in the mixing bowl and saute 6 min/Varoma/reverse/spoon speed.
- Remove the browned pancetta and set aside with its fat.
- Put the yolks, egg, pecorino and pepper in the mixing bowl.
- Mix 20 sec/speed 4 until you get a smooth cream.
- Set 3 min/50°C/speed 3 to warm the cream without setting it.
- Add the reserved pancetta, mix 10 sec/speed 2 and use over the hot pasta.
Tips
- Authentic carbonara has no cream, only egg and cheese.
- Do not go over 50°C so the sauce does not turn into scrambled egg.
- Reserve pasta water to loosen the sauce when serving.
