Ingredients

  • 2-4 ounces pancetta vegetarian: sub with porcini mushrooms
  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • ½ cup whole milk or heavy cream
  • 3 egg yolks pasture raised or high quality eggs
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste
  • 1 garlic minced
  • ½ tablespoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • chopped chives optional

Instructions

  • Boil spaghetti in a pot with ½ tablespoon salt until pasta is al dente. Follow package instructions for al dente cooking instructions.
  • Separate egg yolk from the egg whites. Then to make the sauce, combine 3 egg yolks with 1 cup parmesan cheese, minced garlic and ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper. Mix together until well-combined and set aside.
  • Heat pan to medium. Once pan is hot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and pancetta. Fry until pancetta is golden.
  • Add whole milk and miso paste in the pan and mix everything together until miso has melted.
  • Add cooked pasta in the pan and cook for one minute. Turn off the heat.
  • Add the egg yolk and cheese mixture in the pasta and stir quickly to combine. The pasta should have a thick sauce.
  • To plate, add chives and extra cheese if you like. For extra creamy carbonara, add an extra egg yolk! Hope you enjoy!
