As a stay at home parent, I understand the importance of finding the time to cook a delicious and nutritious meal for the family. Today I’m going to share with you my recipe for Spaghetti Carbonara. It’s one of my favorite go-to dishes that always turns out great and is sure to please!

I first discovered this dish when my husband and I were on vacation in Rome. We had just finished a full day of sightseeing and decided to stop at a small restaurant for dinner. We were presented with a menu full of traditional Italian dishes; one of which was Spaghetti Carbonara. Intrigued by the description, we decided to give it a try. And boy, were we glad we did! The flavors were incredible – creamy, salty, and cheesy – all in one bite! From that moment on, it had become one of our favorite dishes.

When I returned home, I knew I had to recreate this dish for my family. After doing some research, I found that most recipes call for pasta, eggs, pancetta (or bacon), garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt and pepper. With simple ingredients like these, you can easily make this dish at home in no time!

To begin making this recipe, start by boiling a pot of salted water for the pasta. When it’s boiling add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente (tender but still firm). While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until golden brown and crispy (about 8 minutes). Next add the garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Once the spaghetti is done cooking, drain it and add it directly into the skillet with the pancetta/garlic mixture. Then crack 4 eggs into a bowl and whisk until blended together. Pour the egg mixture over the spaghetti and stir until it is evenly distributed throughout. Add Parmesan cheese to taste (I usually use about 1/2 cup), season with salt & pepper to taste and mix everything together one last time. Serve immediately while hot!

My family absolutely loves this dish! It’s quick & easy to make yet absolutely delicious; plus it only requires simple ingredients that can easily be found in your pantry or refrigerator! And best of all? It’s always a hit at our dinner table! Try making Spaghetti Carbonara today – you won’t regret it!
