Today, I decided to treat myself to a real Carbonara pasta.
First, I put water on the stove and added a pinch of salt, like a tiny sea in a pot. While it was boiling, I sliced some guanciale—well, almost, since I had bacon instead—and the pan started sizzling, filling the kitchen with an amazing aroma.
The spaghetti cooked to al dente, and in the meantime, I quickly mixed egg yolks with grated Parmesan. The trick is not to turn it into scrambled eggs when adding the mixture to the hot pasta.
I stirred everything together, added some black pepper, and in the end, I had a plate of true Italian comfort food right in front of me. I topped it with more cheese a few aesthetic shots.
Cooking something you can truly enjoy afterward is pure bliss.
