Ingredients
Directions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, add the chopped pancetta and cook it until crispy and golden, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until it becomes fragrant.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until they are well combined. Next, stir in the grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, along with salt and black pepper.
- Once the pancetta is done, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a moment.
- Gradually pour the egg and milk mixture into the saucepan with the pancetta, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens a bit.
- If the sauce turns out too thick, simply whisk in a little more milk until you achieve your preferred consistency.
- Serve the creamy carbonara sauce warm over your choice of vegetables or protein, and feel free to garnish with fresh parsley and extra cheese if you like.
