Spaghetti Carbonara

Spaghetti Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish with creamy egg, diced bacon, grated cheese, and copious amounts of black pepper–a Roman dish reminiscent of an American breakfast.

Spaghetti Carbonara

Carbonara is typically made with a raw egg that cooks when it hits the hot pasta, which often makes it pasty. My version is topped with a poached egg so the yolk is already warm when it tops the spaghetti. This creates a velvety sauce that blends easier — giving it richness without binding. Rather than using Pancetta here, I used leaner center-cut bacon and also added some greens to the mix – it’s beyond delicious!
