Material :

• penne rigate - 1 pound (500 g)
• eggs - 4 large
• thick cream - 1/2 cup
• Parmesan cheese - 1 cup, finely grated, separated
• salt to taste
• butter - 1 tbsp
• Olive oil - 1 tbsp
• bacon - 1/2 pound, thick pieces or pancetta, cut into pieces
• basil - a small handful, grated
• black pepper - to taste, just cracked

how to make Penne alla Carbonara:

1. Bring a large pot of salt water to boil for pasta. (When the water heats up, you can start preparing the meat and eggs.)
2. When the pasta water starts to boil, cook until done.
3. Beat eggs, cream, and 1/2 Parmesan together in a small bowl, add salt, then set aside.
4. Melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the bacon and cook until browned and start to crisp, then use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and drain it on tissue paper, store the fat in the pan.
5. When the pasta is ready, drain it, leaving a portion of the pasta water (about 1/2 cup). Do not rinse the paste.
6. In a pasta pan, over high heat, add about 2 tablespoons of pasta water and 1 tablespoon of meat fat. Add the dried paste and mix well, then lift.
7. Quickly pour the beaten egg and meat over the pasta, and stir together quickly and evenly for about 1 minute - until the sauce starts thickening. (if the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of pasta water little by little)
8. Serve immediately with lots of cracked pepper, and garnish with the rest of Parmesan and basil leaves.

Easy isn't it? Immediately made, rather than holding the leprosy. hee
