📜 Delia Smith Carbonara Ingredients

• 225g dried linguini or spaghetti (good quality pasta, look for the words ‘pasta di Semola di grano duro’ on the packet)
• 150g sliced smoked pancetta
• 2 large eggs, plus 2 extra yolks
• 4 tablespoons Pecorino Romano, finely grated, plus extra to serve
• 4 tablespoons double cream
• freshly milled black pepper

🍝 How To Make Delia Smith Carbonara

1. Prepare some hot serving bowls for the pasta.
2. Then bring 2.25 liters of salted water to a rolling boil in a big saucepan; add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, for 9 to 10 minutes, or until al dente.
3. In the meantime, heat a frying pan over medium heat and cook the pancetta in the dry heat for about 5 minutes, or until it is crisp and brown.
4. Then, in a jug, beat the egg whites, egg yolks, and cream together while seasoning heavily with black pepper.
5. When the pasta is cooked, drain it rapidly in a colander, leaving a little of the moisture still clinging.
6. Add the pancetta and any remaining oil from the pan together with the egg and cream mixture, and quickly transfer back to the saucepan.
7. Quickly boil the liquid egg as it comes into touch with the hot pasta by stirring vigorously until everything is evenly coated.
8. Toss the pasta with additional grated Pecorino Romano and serve on extremely hot, deep plates.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Pancetta should be crisped to provide texture and flavor for a truly ideal result.
• For a creamy, evenly covered pasta dish, work rapidly to combine the heated spaghetti with the egg and cream mixture.
