Spaghetti Carbonara for One
Ingredients
2 oz.
Boar's Head Diced Pancetta
6 oz.
Kowalski's Imported Italian Organic Spaghetti
¼ cup
freshly grated Kowalski's Signature Parmesan Cheese, plus more to taste
1
egg, beaten
- freshly ground Kowalski's Black Peppercorns, to taste
2 tbsp.
frozen peas, thawed
- chopped fresh Italian parsley, to taste
Directions
- In a medium sauté pan, cook pancetta over medium-low heat until crispy, adjusting heat down as necessary to ensure it does not burn. Transfer pancetta to a paper-towel-lined plate; set aside to drain.
- In a large pot of salted water, cook pasta according to pkg. directions (do not overcook); near the end of cooking time, scoop approx. ½ cup pasta cooking water from the pot and set aside.
- While pasta cooks, whisk together ¼ cup cheese and egg in an extra-large mixing bowl; season generously with pepper.
- Place thawed peas in a colander, where you will drain the pasta. When pasta is done, drain over peas.
- Quickly move hot pasta and peas to the mixing bowl with the cheese and egg mixture; stir quickly and vigorously to coat pasta. Add hot reserved pasta water a bit at a time with additional cheese, if desired, until sauce reaches desired consistency.
- Move pasta to a serving bowl; garnish with reserved pancetta, more cheese, more pepper and parsley. Serve immediately.
