SPAGHETTI ALLA CARBONARA

Steps:

• Prepare the sauce while the pasta is cooking to ensure that the spaghetti will be hot and ready when the sauce is finished; it is very important that the pasta is hot when adding the egg mixture, so that the heat of the pasta cooks the raw eggs in the sauce.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender yet firm (as they say in Italian "al dente.") Drain the pasta well, reserving 1/2 cup of the starchy cooking water to use in the sauce if you wish.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a deep skillet over medium flame. Add the pancetta and saute for about 3 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the fat is rendered. Toss the garlic into the fat and saute for less than 1 minute to soften.
• Add the hot, drained spaghetti to the pan and toss for 2 minutes to coat the strands in the bacon fat. Beat the eggs and Parmesan together in a mixing bowl, stirring well to prevent lumps. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the egg/cheese mixture into the pasta, whisking quickly until the eggs thicken, but do not scramble (this is done off the heat to ensure this does not happen.) Thin out the sauce with a bit of the reserved pasta water, until it reaches desired consistency. Season the carbonara with several turns of freshly ground black pepper and taste for salt. Mound the spaghetti carbonara into warm serving bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Pass more cheese around the table.

SWEET ONION CARBONARA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan set over medium heat. Add the pancetta and saute until brown and crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove the pancetta from the pan and set aside to cool.
• Add the onions to the pan and cook until golden brown and lightly caramelized, 10 minutes. Add the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and cook 2 minutes more. Set aside to cool slightly. In a large bowl, whisk together the gruyere, cream, Parmesan, lemon zest, eggs and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until just tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water. Add the pasta back to the pan along with the onions, cream mixture, 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water and the pancetta. Toss over low heat until the sauce is thick and coats the pasta, adding pasta water as needed, about 2 minutes (do not boil).
• Season the pasta with lots of pepper. Transfer the pasta to a large, wide serving bowl. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

SPAGHETTI CARBONARA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat a large skillet over medium-heat. Add the oil, bacon and pancetta and cook, stirring, until the fat has rendered and the bacon and pancetta begin to crisp, about 3 minutes. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according the package instructions until al dente (save 1½ cups of the pasta water before draining!) Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons fat and add 1 cup pasta water. Bring to a simmer and cook to reduce by half to create a sauce.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks with ½ cup of the cheese. Temper the egg yolks by slowly whisking in about ½ cup of pasta water.
• When the pasta is done, remove the pasta with tongs and add to the sauce with the parsley. Toss to coat the pasta with the sauce. Remove from the heat and pour in the egg yolk mixture, tossing vigorously to cook the yolks and coat the pasta, without curdling the sauce!
• Taste for salt; it may not need any as the bacon and cheese are salty. Add the remaining ½ cup of cheese, toss again and serve immediately.

SKINNYISH BROCCOLI CARBONARA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli.
• While the pasta cooks, add the pancetta to a large skillet over medium heat and cook until crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Spoon off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat and discard. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté until it softens slightly, about 1 minute.
• In the meantime, whisk together the Parmesan, eggs and some salt and pepper in a bowl, then set aside.
• When the pasta and broccoli are cooked, reserve 1 cup pasta cooking water, then drain. Add the pasta and broccoli to the skillet along with 1/4 cup of the pasta water and toss.
• While whisking, whisk 1/4 cup of the pasta water into the egg mixture.
• Turn the heat off under the skillet and pour the egg mixture over the pasta, tossing quickly so the eggs don't scramble. Add a little more of the pasta water to thin out the sauce, if necessary. Serve immediately with lots of black pepper and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan.
