Ingredients

  • 1 gallon salted water
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 ounces pancetta or slab bacon, diced
  • 1 teaspoon diced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons white wine
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound fresh linguini
  • 1 cup grated Pecorino Romano
  • 2 eggs, separated

Directions

Put the water in a large pasta pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat.

Add the oil and pancetta to a large saute pan over low heat. Cook the pancetta until crisp, being careful not to burn it, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for 5 seconds. Add the wine, cream and black pepper. Cook until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Drop the fresh linguini into water and stir to separate strands. When pasta is just undercooked remove it from the water and add it to the pan with the sauce. Gently stir for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat, add 1/2 the cheese and the egg white and stir, being careful not to break the noodles. Add the egg yolk and lightly toss. Transfer the pasta to a serving bowl or platter and garnish with the remaining cheese. Enjoy.

    This is a wonderful recipe. I have made it several times. If you do not have white wine, you may substitute chicken stock and still have a wonderful result. This turned out perfect every time. I made mine with home made pasta....YUM!!!!

    Easy, yummy, yet elegant. I did make this substitute bacon with peas because I am a vegetarian, but kept everything else the same. Just delicious.

    Loved it! After using a different carbonara recipe with disastrous results, this was a welcome relief. Used bacon and cut back on the olive oil, but otherwise was fabulous. Will definitely make again.
