Instructions
- 1
Bring 4 liters of water to a boil in a large pot and salt it well. Cook the spaghetti until 1 minute shy of al dente, reserving 1 cup of cooking water before draining.
9 min09:00 - 2
Dice the beef pastrami, put it in a cold pan, and cook over low heat for 5 minutes until its fat renders and the edges brown. Take the pan off the heat and set it aside.
5 min05:00 - 3
Whisk the egg yolks with grated Pecorino and freshly ground black pepper in a wide bowl until smooth and creamy.
- 4
Add the drained spaghetti to the pastrami pan with the heat off. Pour in the egg and cheese mixture, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of pasta water, and toss quickly until the egg becomes a silky sauce.
- 5
Transfer to plates immediately and top with extra Pecorino and pepper. Do not let it sit; the sauce should be eaten right away.
💡 Tip: Add the egg sauce off the heat; the pan's residual heat is enough. If the egg starts to turn grainy, add 1 more tablespoon of pasta water.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the moment it hits the plate; carbonara is eaten immediately, not rested. Add a simple green salad on the side.
