Pancetta what is it and how do you use it I’ve got the answers to those burning questions pancetta like bacon is made from pork belly pancetta has been cured but not smoked and it’s been seasoned with spices lots of salt and sometimes things like juniper berries here’s a
Piece of fresh pancetta straight from the deli this is essentially a really thick slice of pork belly that has been rolled and then tied together after it’s been cured then they just slice off what you want unlike pancetta bacon has smoked giving it a little more earthy flavor than the pancetta you find
Pancetta and a lot of Italian cooking and because of the fat content as it Cooks It renders out so a little bit goes a long way in that flavor transfers through your whole dish probably one of the most popular ways you see pancetta is in spaghetti carbonara one of the
Greatest things of all time let’s get cooking this dish comes together in no time and has such few ingredients it’s just one of those things the simpler the better contrary to what people think the sauce does not have cream or anything in it it’s just eggs and cheese and a
Little pasta water makes this most luxurious silky sauce so we’re going to use the whole egg not just the egg yolks so if you’ve got good fresh eggs using the whole thing is no problem so I’m going in with four eggs to the eggs I’m going in with grated pecorino Romano
Cheese and you just whisk it together until it’s thick and creamy carbonara is simply pasta with eggs and cheese Italians know how to do it I love getting the egg mixture ready ahead of time because everything else comes together at the same time the pancetta and the pasta the heat from the
Pasta is going to cook the eggs so everything’s got to be ready at the same time pancetta is readily available in a lot of grocery stores this is typically how you’re going to find it I’m going to get it going in a cold pan that way as
The pan heats up the fat will slowly render out of the pancetta and that’s going to be our fat for the dish so no need for olive oil or anything like that as the pan heats up you’ll see the fat start to kind of melt out that’s what
You want while that happens I’m going in with the pasta I love using spaghetti here I think that’s the most common so you’ve got to start by seasoning your pasta water with a good bit of salt and by well seasoned you know I mean like the ocean now we’ve got about seven
Minutes till everything comes together your pasta will be nice and Al Dente you don’t want it to go much further this is how I like my pancetta it’s slightly crispy but still has some chew to it before I drain my pasta I’m going to take out some pasta water about half
A cup or so turn the heat off and add in the hot pasta and give it a toss that’s going to coat the pasta with all that pancetta flavor it’s gonna be so good and now for the cheesy egg goodness you got to stir fast while you incorporate

Looks so delicious.
Early morning Nicole video? Yes
Pasta water is like this miracle thing no one knows about.
I'm definitely not a pasta fan but thanks for sharing. 🙂
Nicole, you sold me on this recipe! I never had pancetta but I will tonight because I will be making this easy dish! Thank you Nicole!
Nothing special.
If you want "salty like the ocean", add 2 teaspoons of salt to 1 metric cup (250ml) of water. Odds on bet, you will find this too salty. Dial it back to 1 t salt to 1 mcup water.
FINALLY an American who knows how to make Carbonara!!! Good job!!!
excellent recipe for an almost perfect carbonara, no cream, pecorino romano and use of the starchy water; only one thing to mention: panchetta is used as a "backup" ingredient, for a 100% truly carbonara guanciale (cured pork cheek) should be used; but no italian will curse you on that, even when using bacon (and that's because guanciale and even panchetta is sometimes hard to find when not in italy)
Always appreciate how right-to-the-point AND informative your videos are.
Guanciale!
Never knew there was no cream in this dish. Yum looks delicious 😋
I'm going to have try this recipe too!
If I can't get pancetta, can I use bacon?
Love this recipe. I'll have to try it. I didn't know Publix had pancetta! ➡ [The hum of low-droning, irritating music is distracting as h*ll. We got along splendidly without it for so long. Who suddenly mucked up the works and for what bloody reason?]⬅
Uhhhh the recipe link takes you to a much larger intimidating recipe. I love her just wish measurements were provided in video since it is easier than the recipe listed
Like I always say, you are the best!!!😍
You're cooking, simple explanations & videos are better than 90% of them out there, including some by pro chefs
Really so good!
My new favorite cooking YouTube channel!!!!! Keep it simple for men.
I always watch for your videos Nicole. You're my favorite YouTube cook! I am wondering if you have a recipe for biscotti. I would love to be able to make my own, so I'm really hoping that you do. Please share and teach us how to make it! Thank you!
Where is the recipe I can’t find where to get it 🙄 Thank you, you’re my favorite chef. Simple, easy scrumptious meals.!
I'm italian from Rome and I gotta say almost perfect! Brava!!! 👏👏👏
