CARBONARA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, salt, and pepper.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta through a colander.
• While the pasta is cooking, add the bacon to a large pan over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Leave the rendered bacon fat in the pan.
• Transfer the drained pasta to the pan with the bacon fat and toss with tongs for 1 minute, until fully coated. Remove the pan from the heat and let sit for 1 minute.
• Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water to the egg mixture and whisk to combine, then carefully pour the mixture over the pasta, quickly tossing to coat. Add the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as necessary until the sauce is creamy and has the consistency of heavy cream.
• Add the bacon and toss to combine. Serve immediately topped with more freshly ground black pepper.
• Enjoy!

AVOCADO CARBONARA FOR TWO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bucatini in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Add pancetta and cook on until tender and the fat has rendered. Remove from heat.
• Ladle 1 cup pasta cooking water into a bowl; set aside.
• Puree avocado in a bowl using a hand blender. Add 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, egg yolks, 2 teaspoons black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well until sauce is creamy.
• Use spaghetti tongs to add the pasta directly from the water to the pan with the pancetta, allowing a bit of pasta water to help thin the sauce. Toss the pasta in the skillet to coat the pasta with the pancetta. Add avocado sauce to the pasta, stirring constantly. Mix in reserved pasta water if necessary.
• Divide pasta between 2 plates. Top with the remaining cheese and black pepper. Serve immediately.
