Spaghetti Carbonara step by step
Cook the spaghetti for the required time..
While the spaghetti is cooking, fry the bacon/lardon in olive oil until a little bit crunchy. Turn the cooker off so the bacon doesn't burn. It's best to fry the bacon/lardon in a largish, heavy bottomed saucepan as you will be adding the spaghetti to it and need it to retain the heat..
When the spaghetti is cooked, spoon it into the bacon/lardon mix (retaining the spaghetti water) and give it a good mix to spread the flavour and coat the spaghetti in olive oil. Heat it further if you wish but not too much as it will dry up and fry..
Beat the eggs. Grate a good couple of handfuls of parmesan into the beaten eggs then pour the eggs and parmesan into the spaghetti mix; mix them in quickly and thoroughly. The eggs should cook in the hot mixture..
If it looks too dry add a few table spoons of water from the spaghetti saucepan..
Stir in a tablespoon of creme fraiche and season to taste..
Pour into a serving dish, top with a generous amount of grated parmesan and garnish with parsley. Job done..
