iSpaghetti alla Carbonara

This is my favourite, and the very best version I know of the great classic Italian recipe for pasta with bacon and egg sauce. I used to make it with English bacon and Parmesan cheese, but now we are able to get Italian pancetta and Pecorino Romano cheese, it is a great improvement.

Serves 2

Ingredients

8 oz (225 g) dried spaghetti

5 oz (150 g) sliced smoked pancetta

2 large eggs, plus 2 extra yolks

4 tablespoons Pecorino Romano, finely grated, plus extra to serve

4 tablespoons double cream

little olive oil

freshly milled black pepper

Method

First of all, cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes in boiling salted water to which 1 teaspoon of olive oil has been added. Meanwhile, heat a frying pan and fry the pancetta without any extra oil until it’s crisp and golden, about 5 minutes.

Next, whisk the eggs, yolks and cream in a bowl and season generously with black pepper then whisk in the cheese. When the pasta is cooked, drain it quickly in a colander, leaving a little of the moisture still clinging. Now quickly return it to the saucepan and add the pancetta and any oil in the pan, along with the egg and cream mixture. Stir very thoroughly, so that everything gets a good coating – what happens is that the liquid egg cooks briefly as it comes into contact with the hot pasta.

Serve the pasta on really hot deep plates with some extra grated Pecorino.

The hard reality

Life had been topsy turvey these 3 weeks which felt so long. I am finally going to settle down after clearing my mind today and to see if I should really do it. Made many decisions lately which i proved to be quite dumb and foolish. I was facing an internal struggle within and I guess it all nearly ends when i woke up this morning after nealy 12 hours of awake sleep. Just left 2 things to settle and decide before this week ends. I hope matters could be resolve not so badly. I would be starting work as a waitress today again. But I would be giving myself 2 weeks trial to decide if I would be able to cope with it along with the many other things in my life. Tuition wise, one would be ending in 2-3 weeks and i just started with another yesterday. Somehow, the one i started with yesterday prove to be a challenging task which i had no confident to teach. This kid, i shall give 1 month due to the agency contract. This had been the 2nd worse Septembers in my entire life so far and i will live to be reminded of it. =c

How much trust should there be with someone you never knew?

It just seem that no matter where i come out from, it seems that it is always a dead end, yet to see the light. =(
