How To Make Carbonara Pasta?
- To start with this cheese pasta, take a pan or heavy bottom utensil, boil plenty of water, add pasta, salt, and a little olive oil (to remove the stickiness). Boil the pasta to 90 % for 15-20 minutes. Once it is done, drain it and reserve some of the cooking water.
- Take a large pan or saucepan, heat some olive oil, and fry the chicken bacon/chicken salami till it turns crispy. Keep aside.
- Now in a mixing bowl, break the eggs and beat the whole eggs. Mix grated cheese and set aside.
- In the same saucepan, heat some butter and olive oil. Add crushed, minced garlic; saute this for seconds. Add boiled pasta and toss with the egg cheese mixture. Stir it till it is entirely mixed or coated.
- Add fried bacon, seasoned with salt and black pepper, and little pasta water.
- Give a quick toss, make sure that individual pasta strands are coated well properly with the cheese sauce.
- The sauce should have a creamy texture, now remove right away from the heat.
- Add some Italian seasoning and chopped parsley.
Your carbonara pasta is ready, served hot with grated cheese and a little seasoning.
