Tips:
- Use high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor. Grate it yourself rather than using pre-grated cheese.
- Cook the pasta until it is just al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the hot sauce.
- Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining; it can be used to thin the sauce if it becomes too thick.
- Add the egg yolk mixture gradually to avoid scrambling the eggs. Mixing it off the heat can also help in achieving a smooth sauce.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and parsley according to your taste preferences.
With these tips and the straightforward instructions, you can make Spaghetti Carbonara that’s both delicious and authentic. This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or an elegant meal to share with friends and family. Enjoy the creamy texture and savory flavors of this Italian classic!
