Carbonara

(For 2 people)

• 2 glugs of olive oil
• 1 strip of pancetta, cut into thin strips
• 3 to 4 tablespoons white wine
• 3 egg yolks
• 3 tablespoons grated parmigiano-reggiano
• 1 tablespoon grated pecorino romano
• A couple sprigs flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
• Salt, pepper

1. Pour olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pancetta and cook until browned but not crisped. Pour in the white wine and cook some more, until the liquid is reduced by half. Turn off the heat and set the pan aside.
2. In a bowl big enough for the pasta, beat the egg yolks with the cheeses, parsley and a pinch of salt and some fresh ground pepper.
3. When the pasta is finished cooking, very al dente, drain it and add it to the yolk/cheese sauce. Turn the pancetta back on to high heat. Stir the pasta with the sauce until well coated and yellow. Add in the hot pancetta. Stir some more. Serve and eat.

Best Pasta: Spaghetti or Rigatone.

* A glug is the sound the olive oil makes when coming out of the bottle.
