“If you can boil water, then making this easy version of pasta carbonara is just a hop, skip, and a jump away,” Stewart writes. “Carbonara is a comfort food standby for good reason.”
To make Stewart’s pasta carbonara, a classic Italian dish that features a creamy, cheesy sauce and salty cured pork, you’ll need six simple ingredients: spaghetti, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, heavy cream, eggs, pancetta, and EVOO. Of course, you’ll also want some kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning.
Once everything’s prepped, it’s time to cook — and this part of the process takes a short, sweet 10 minutes. To start, you’ll cook your pancetta in your skillet; then, whisk together your egg mixture. Once you’ve boiled and cooked your spaghetti pasta in salted water, transfer over over to the skillet along with 1 cup of your pasta water and slowly add in your egg mixture. Stir in the cheese and pork — and serve!
