Ingredients for 2 portions of Spaghetti Carbonara: 200 gr. dry spaghetti, 3/4 cup chopped bacon or pancetta, 2 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 small onion, chopped, 2 tablespoon sliced scallions, 2 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan or Grana di Padano cheese, cracked black pepper, salt to taste.
Recipe: Boil the spaghetti according to package instructions. In a heavy skillet, heat the olive oil and saute the bacon (or pancetta), onion and garlic. Add the scallions when the bacon is almost ready. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the boiled and strained spaghetti. In a bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and grated cheese and pour the mixture over the spaghetti.
Stir the contents of the skillet properly and return it on the stove at very low temperature for about 2 minutes. Stir the carbonara constantly and when the sauce is just about to thicken, remove the skillet from the stove. You have to be careful at that point, otherwise you will get spaghetti with scrambled eggs instead. Season the Spaghetti Carbonara with cracked black pepper and salt to taste, and serve immediately. I am not the "Self-proclaimed king of Carbonara" like one of the Hollywood actors, but at least I know how to cook. This particular guy should stick to acting.
