Carbonara Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Carbonara is a classic Italian pasta dish that features spaghetti tossed in a creamy sauce made with eggs, Parmesan cheese, pancetta, and black pepper. The heat from the cooked pasta and pancetta cooks the eggs, creating a rich and velvety sauce that coats the noodles. This dish is simple yet indulgent, with the salty pancetta and the sharpness of the Parmesan cheese adding depth of flavor. Carbonara is a quick and satisfying meal that is perfect for any pasta lover.
