This is so quick and easy to cook, from prep to completion in 20 minutes, and with a few basic ingredients it only costs about $10.
This makes enough for 4 large servings, ie dinner and leftovers!
Ingredients listed below, along with more traditional alternatives:
* 400g spaghetti * 250g bacon (or pancetta $$, or guanciale $$$) * 2 large whole eggs * 2 large egg yolks * 50 – 100g parmesan / grana padano cheese (or pecorino $$) * 30g of baby spinach
Method:
1. Dice bacon then start frying in a little bit of water until crisp 2. Put spaghetti into a pot of salted boiling water 3. Grate cheese, crack then put 2 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks into a bowl. add lots of pepper and optionally a little salt 4. Whisk well 5. Reserve about a cup of the pasta water 6. Then put the egg mix bowl on top of the pasta pot and continue whisking while slowly adding the pasta water 7. Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce to combine, then put it in the cooked bacon pan 8. Break apart the spinach and add to the pan. Mix it all well 9. Serve in a bowl and garnish with a bit more cheese
I made a video including the steps for cooking this recipe on my instagram, which might be useful particularly for seeing how to make the sauce:
