Boil the pasta. Chop up the panchetta and render the fat out of it. Saute sliced garlic in the rendered fat. Toss the pasta into the pan, add some of the pasta water and the cheese. It is a quick, easy dish to cook, so there is no reason for taking short cuts like this restaurant did. It was cooked spaghetti with bacon bits and crumbled hard boiled eggs and then sprinkled with dried parsley. The restaurant was operating for a while but closed down about two years ago. |

I'm getting hungry again... clearly I should be making some Carbonara asap. Just need some panchetta. >is a quick, easy dish to cook, so there is no reason for taking short >cuts like this restaurant did.

As you say, there can be a world of difference if done right. >The restaurant was operating for a while but closed down about two years >ago. As most restaurants do, never mind the inferior ones. |
