Carbonara (Italian Pasta Dish)

The method

1. 01

   For the homemade pasta, take the flour and make a well in the center. Add the egg and beat it with a fork until it forms a ball. If it's difficult, wet your hands to soften it. Once you have the ball, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes covered with plastic wrap. Then roll it out with a rolling pin and cut it into your preferred pasta shape.

2. 02

   For the carbonara sauce, in a bowl, combine the two egg yolks, the whole egg, cheese, and pepper. Mix until you have a thick paste. To enhance the flavor, add the fat from the guanciale and a little bit of pasta cooking water.

3. 03

   Finally, combine the pasta and sauce in a pan over very low heat (to prevent the egg in the sauce from scrambling). Stir until fully integrated!
