Bo's Recipes, Carla's Carbonara Sauce from Italy

Cabanara Sauce

Submitted by Carla and Nell

"Carbanara sauce" for spaghetti or macaroni"
From Carla and Nell in Italy

Ingredients:
smoked bacon
eggs
cheese "parmigiano" and "pecorino"
    (not what is called Parmesan,
    it is not the same, look for the italina name),
    a mix of them grated.
olive oil

With a knife cut the bacon into pieces, something like 1cmx1cm (just to give a figure).

Place 2 spoons of oil in a saucepan, and heat it: just before it gets too hot, put the bacon inside the oil.Let it cook (high fire) for soemthing like 8-10 minutes (it has to become a bit well cooked outside, a bit tender inside the pieces.

In the meantime, when the water boils, drop the salt and later the spaghetti.

When they are ready (you should test them; they must be of "hard wheat" and so the time should be around 8 minutes), remove from water, drain them and place in a soup dish.

Place 3 egg yolks over the spaghetti, the bacon pieces with the oil (it should be hot) and a BIG quantity of the two mixed cheeses, stir well
immediately, so as the yolk is mixed with the bacon, the cheese and the pasta.

And that's that.

But it should be eaten AT ONCE...this kind of sauce does not stand a long wait.
