Carbonara. Humble ingredients—eggs, noodles, cheese, and pork—combine to create glossy, glorious pasta carbonara. It's the no-food-in-the-house dinner of our dreams. Pasta, eggs, cheese, and bacon come together in the ultimate Italian favorite: spaghetti carbonara.
Luscious and wonderfully indulgent, pasta carbonara takes as long to make as it does to cook the pasta.
The ingredients are simple—just spaghetti (or other long pasta), and the carbonara is made with pancetta or bacon, eggs, Parmesan, a little olive oil, salt and pepper.
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.

John doesn't like to eat dinner before a show so this has become our favorite midnight supper after a gig. I can't eat, think about, dream about, or even remotely consider Pasta Carbonara without thinking of Heartburn, the Meryl Streep/Jack Nicholson movie from the eighties that I both love and hate. Love, because it's incredibly written by Norah Ephron and incredibly acted by Meryl and Jack. Make the ultimate spaghetti carbonara with a creamy hollandaise-style sauce and crisp pancetta or guanciale. Stir roasted cauliflower, hazelnuts, eggs, double cream and thyme into penne.
